LIBERTY

From the August 1896 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Stand fast therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Gal. 5: 1.

THESE words, which Paul wrote in his great epistle to the Galatians, mean much to the Christian Scientist, for they cause him to cast a retrospective glance to the hard, bitter bondage he was formerly in, and this backward view, by comparison, enables him to realize more fully than ever the "glorious liberty" he is beginning to enjoy.

The word "liberty" is a large word in the Christian Science vocabulary, and means much. When a Christian Scientist uses the word, it has far more significance than it ever before had. It not only means freedom from bondage of other governments or persons, but also freedom from other forces and restrictions of which mortal mind has but little comprehension.
