PRE-EXISTENCE

From the February 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Who deems life not more yearful than the hours,
"Since first into this world he wept his way,
"Erreth much, may-be."

This subject has perhaps been as much thought on and less written on than any other known to man.

In Science and Health it is said: "If man did not exist before his material organization, he cannot exist after the body is disintegrated. If we live after death, and are immortal, we must have lived before birth." I do not understand this to be an affirmation of any of the current or past theories of pre-existence, and I have found in Science and Health no intimation concerning an embodied pre-existence.
