All things are double, and He hath made nothing imperfect. Ecclesiasticus xliii.

The deeper we go into Science, the more certain it becomes that all the realities of nature are in the region of the invisible; so that the saying is literally, and not merely figuratively true, that the things which are seen are temporal, and it is only the things which are not seen that are eternal. Duke of Argyll.

A king rules by divine right. He carries in him an authority from God, or man will never give it to him.

The age is thinking and living in the material, but knocking at the door of the Beyond, the immaterial, and unseen. The underlying mysteries of Mind and Intelligence, misnamed Forces, are opening to us their vista of new glories.

The last edition of Science and Health often uses the term Jesus the Christ, instead of the customary term, Jesus Christ, which we find in the New Testament. The reason for this may be found partly stated on pages 45, 46, 261, 262, of Science and Health; but some further explanation is in order.

Christian Science aims at perfection, as universal harmony. Perfection is harmony, and harmony is perfection.

In a recent letter the question was raised, in what sense God is declared, in Science and Health, to be a Principle. The dictionaries give several definitions, among them these: a rule of action, a general truth.
