One holy church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
Christian Science Hymnal.
On page 223 of "Miscellaneous Writings" we find this statements: "Science proves, beyond cavil, ... that mind reaches its own ideal, and cannot be separated from it." In the material realm we see how the tallow dip has given place to gas and electricity, the stagecoach to the palace car, hand labor to machinery; progress has been the law all along the line. Each one of these improvements has met in its turn opposition, ridicule, and persecution amounting, in some instances, to riot and bloodshed. Experience, however, has taught their usefulness, and the idea rejected by one generation is accepted by the next, who find, not a new idea struggling for a foothold, but an established condition. As has been pointed out many times, all the privileges we enjoy to-day have always been possible, since the principles upon which they are based have always existed. Is it not then the human sense of limitation that must be outgrown in order to grasp our possibilities.
