[This sermon, the manuscript of which is in possession of The Christian Science Board of Directors, was prepared by Mrs. Eddy, evidently for oral delivery, over thirty-five years ago, hence its literary style differs somewhat from that of her later writings.
In order to preserve to the fullest extent the power and originality of this important statement, the text of the original manuscript is printed below exactly as written. Punctuation has been added, Scriptural references verified, and capitalization made in accordance with Mrs. Eddy's rules. A few words which had been omitted are supplied within brackets, and in two cases where the reader is referred to Science and Health, obvious omissions in the manuscript have been supplied, with the authorization of the Christian Science textbook.—Editor]
John 14:6. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
