I DO not think, of course, that any one has espoused the Cause of Christian Science unless he is teaching and demonstrating that "these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and, if they drink any deadly thing it shall not not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."
To really espouse the Cause of the Science of Christianity means nothing less than a fulfilment of Jesus' last prayer, that all who truly believe, that is, who can grasp and understand the Christ-Mind, shall find that the man of God's creating is one with Christ, even as He is one with the Father. Unity with God, Spirit, is the Unity of Good, and gives no place to evil. The limitations of error are thus cast out. "And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one."
The human mind, unillumined by Spirit, knows not, or forgets, that God is One and All. It is darkness, material belief, and is "alienated from the life of God." It gets no vitalizing import from the statement that God is Life, and Life is God. It does not know that Life is not in matter, nor that the Love that is God is not human love.
