The Discoverer of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, in acknowledging the remarkable progress in church growth made by her early students in the Chicago area, made this comment: "A great sanity, a mighty something buried in the depths of the unseen, has wrought a resurrection among you, and has leaped into living love." The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 164.
Then she asked and answered this question: "What is this something, this phoenix fire, this pillar by day, kindling, guiding, and guarding your way? It is unity, the bond of perfectness, the thousandfold expansion that will engirdle the world,—unity, which unfolds the thought most within us into the greater and better, the sum of all reality and good."
Just imagine experiencing "the sum of all reality and good" right here and now! And, assuming that spiritual unity truly is, as Mrs. Eddy puts it, "the bond of perfectness," people everywhere, and certainly all students of Christian Science, will benefit greatly by gaining a greater understanding of it.
