A PAPER ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Read Before the Woman's Council in Minneapolis, Minn.,

From the June 1894 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the very limited time allowed for our papers I cannot afford to use any in saying what Christian Science "is not. All manner of evil has been spoken of it falsely, and to attempt to answer all or even a very few of these statements, would allow me no time to say what Christian Science is.

It is a study of God's government, of God as the only Life, Principle, and of man, in his real, his spiritual being, as God's idea or expression. It is the Christ-Science as taught by Jesus, revealing God's government as supreme. It embodies the Truth taught by Jesus to his disciples, and by them taught to their disciples. What is that Truth? That there is but one Life, one Intelligence, one Power, one first great and only Cause, Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient, including in itself all Good, Truth, Wisdom and Love.

It teaches that the words "In Him we live and move and have our being "are not empty, meaningless words, but are most grandly true. That all things created by this infinite Power are now and from everlasting to everlasting good, and very good.
