The Psalmist sang, "O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together." Who does not long to accept that joyous invitation? Who does not yearn to be so sure of God, good, that good may be exalted in his thinking and in his whole experience? We may greatly rejoice that the way to this much-to-be-desired result is being clearly shown the world to-day through the teachings of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 194), "The lens of Science magnifies the divine power to human sight; and we then see the supremacy of Spirit and the nothingness of matter." God's power is always infinite. As we go on learning about God and loving Him more truly, our sense of His omnipotence is enlarged day by day, until sometime it will occupy thought to the entire exclusion of the beliefs of sin, disease, and death; and we shall then have seen the complete "nothingness of matter."
That which magnifies God to human sense naturally magnifies all that is Godlike. Our joys are enhanced; our health, strength, courage enlarged; our purity, consecration, honesty increased; our faith, hope, and love strengthened and made enduring through a right apprehension of God. Nothing has ever so magnified—so exalted, explained, and enlarged—the power which Christ Jesus expressed as has Christian Science. No other teaching has trusted it so implicitly, taken it so literally. No other teaching has proved, in the same way Jesus did, that truth so magnifies our sense of man, as being truly the unfallen likeness of his Maker, that this understanding of man's perfection is seen healing the sick and saving the sinner.
Most of us, when we first turned to Christian Science, found our thoughts full of belief in the power of evil, full of fear and error. As we caught a glimpse of Truth, and its light began to magnify the good already discerned, our faith in good grew; and gradually, or quickly, the thoughts of health mastered the beliefs of disease. Thus was disease ruled out, and healing came. So will this process, through the beneficent teaching of Christian Science, go on in individuals; and thus collectively also, till it shall truly be that "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." The understanding of good will cover and obliterate the falsities of materiality.
