CHRISTIAN Scientists are a peculiar people, zealous of good works. This zeal is born of an understanding that the Light of Life is found in Spirit and not in matter. It becomes fruitful, bringing forth good works, in their declaration of the nothingness of darkness, and their realization of the everywhere-present Light that shineth in the darkness.
We find them at this hour equipped with the weapons of Truth, clothed with the garments of Love, holding the Rod of Power, leaning on the staff of faith, and confidently pressing forward to their high calling in Christ. They are discovering that the darkness of materiality is only the dream of sense. The dream of sense is only the mist that arose from the ground. This dream of sense claims to send forth light, but it has neither prism nor ray, moon nor star.
The darkness that encompasses the land of human belief is the claim of soul in matter, and light in darkness. We learn that darkness has neither place nor power in Mind, for Mind's Light sends forth reflection through the prism of Love and Wisdom, making for itself the great declaration, "Let there be Light and there was Light."
