WHAT CONSTITUTES LOYALTY

From the September 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


WEBSTER'S definition of loyalty — "The state or quality of being loyal; fidelity to a superior or to duty, love, etc. Loyalty expresses properly that fidelity which one owes according to law, and does not necessarily include that attachment to the royal person" — or personality.

In Science there is no personality. To be loyal as Christian Scientists, we must begin with and adhere to Divine Principle, as the source and supply of all law. Apprehending Divine Principle as our only basis, through this light we are enabled to detect and uncover the error of so-called law, thus proving that there is no law outside of Infinite Mind.

Divine Mind or Principle is expressed through its infinite ideas. Idea then is a necessity to Principle or Mind, and each infinitesimal idea is necessary to all other ideas in order to make up the infinite or whole God the — All-in-all; thus demonstrating each individual idea's oneness with the Father, and whose relation, each to the other, is Immortal Love as reflected from the Father, who is Love,— the result being eternal harmony.
