Editorials

(Personal)

From the October 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


(Personal). Where God is, the devil cannot be. (Impersonal). Where Good predominates, evil has no place.

(Personal). The devil is the ape of God. (Impersonal). Evil is the ape of Good; or error simulates Truth.

If there is more than one Power—one God—and one creation, there must be more than one universe, and there should be found to express this fact another word than Universe; it would be a misnomer and grossly misleading, if the theory of duality were true.

When the individual consciousness is purged of the dross and debris of sin, sickness, and death, these will no longer touch it. To such a consciousness only life eternal will be known.

If life is swallowed up of death, then death has greater potentiality than life. If Life is the real and death the unreal, then, indeed, is death stingless and the grave victoryless.

The Christian Scientist must stand with his whole armor ever on. Not otherwise can he repel the attacks of the adversary or resist the fiery darts of (the one) evil.
