THE WAY OF WISDOM

From the February 1909 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 356:21-357:25


No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. — Matthew 6: 24.

The infinite is One, and this One is Spirit; Spirit is God, and this God is infinite good.

This simple statement of oneness is the only possible correct version of Christian Science. God being infinite, He is the only basis of Science; hence materiality is wholly apart from Christian Science, and is only a "suffer it to be so now" until we arrive at the spiritual fulness of God, Spirit, even the divine idea of Christian Science,—Christ,—born of God,—the offspring of Spirit,—wherein matter has neither part nor portion, because matter is the absolute opposite of spiritual means, manifestation, and demonstration. The only incentive of a mistaken sense is malicious animal magnetism,—the name of all evil,—and this must be understood.
