In Christian Science the building of a church edifice marks a most significant period of growth in the history of the church, because of the mental work which it calls forth from all its members, rousing them to see the meaning of the spiritual church, and to fulfil the duties it announces.
It has been my privilege during the past three years to share in the mental labors and blessings of a body of workers, in giving birth to their highest conception of the unseen Church of Christ, and perhaps a few of the thoughts which were brought out and proved through practical demonstration during that time, as well as some of the lessons which still remain to be learned, may be helpful to others, as they have been and are to me.
One finds, in Christian Science, that he never makes a demonstration of the Truth of Being, whether for himself or another, without gaining a little clearer sense of what the divine nature is like, and hence drawing a little nearer to God—nearer to Him in that the necessary purification of his mental condition has brought him consciously into closer sympathy with the nature and operations of the Mind which is Love.
