IF Christian Science were merely theoretical; if it were not applicable to the minutest detail of daily life, then, instead of its marvelous growth, Christian Science would speedily sink into oblivion. But because of its applicability to all phases and conditions of human life; because it brings health to the sick, redemption to the sinner, and peace to the sorely troubled; it appeals to those to whom all other avenues of escape from the ills of earth, seem to be closed. They find, in Christian Science, that "there is a balm in Gilead" and "a Physician there."
The student of Christian Science soon learns that the battle is individual. In the lone thought lie the issues of life. What is this thought? Is it directed God-ward? Is it ever reaching toward the Light,— "the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world"?
In "Retrospection and Introspection," p. 127, we find this: "The best spiritual type of Christly method for uplifting human thought and imparting divine Truth, is stationary power, stillness, and strength; and when this spiritual ideal is made our own, it becomes the model for human action."
