INSPIRATION

From the October 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Is Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" an inspired hook? Yes. No book could do what that book has done, and is doing, unless it was inspired. What is inspiration? It is from "in" and "spirate," to breathe. "A supernatural influence that qualifies men to receive and communicate divine Truth."—Webster.

Paul says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God." Then it is the breath of Good, or Good-breathed, and a person who breathes forth-Good is inspired. There are grades of inspiration. Our great poets, musicians, and artists have Good-breathed. Self must become a cipher, the idea must possess the man. The greater the idea the purer the creation.

When Good is King and the One Mind governs, the perfect comes forth, as in our text-book. The Principle and rule is without a flaw.
