THE SOUNDNESS AND ONENESS OF MIND

From the October 1949 issue of The Christian Science Journal


MARY BAKER EDDY'S discovery that there is only one Mind rejects the general human belief in many minds. Substantiation of the oneness of God and of His infinite wisdom and intelligence permeates the Bible records. Many Christian Scientists by faithfully adhering to Mrs. Eddy's teaching and method have proved her discovery true in their individual experience.

Mind is God, incorporeal Love, Spirit, Principle, the intelligent cause of all there is. There is only one God, and man is His expression, or reflection. Mrs. Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 469), "The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind—called devil or evil—is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality."

Much interest has developed during recent years in improved methods of handling the sick in mental hospitals. The medical profession itself shows more and more willingness to say some forms of insanity can be cured. It also is generally recognized that certain types are not hereditary. Christian Scientists are grateful that these trends indicate a leavening of human thought.
