A revolutionary period in a nation or in the world need not be feared; nor should an upheaval in religious beliefs tend to confuse thought and uproot the good already planted in human consciousness. That which is good in government or religion cannot be disestablished. Revolutionary activities produce changes, for they constitute a turning and overturning "until he come whose right it is." Revolution does not necessarily imply war: it can be a healthy transitional state, recognized as such by its fruits. Experimentation by thinkers effects changes; and this is not to be deplored, since human advancement seems to depend upon trying out, overthrowing, and retaining. A mental attitude constructively critical is of value in any line of change or revolution tending toward progress.
Belief in many minds would falsely govern and control human destiny, innumerable opinions contending in making and marring the history of mankind. In contrast to the belief of minds many there is found in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 468) this revolutionary statement by Mrs. Eddy: "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." Clearly, according to the teaching of Christian Science, Mind is God; therefore there is one Mind. As this truth is accepted, there occurs an uprooting of worn-out beliefs and a replacing of these with spiritually scientific knowledge regarding God, man, the universe, and man's relation to God.
As one reasons from the absolute and established cause, divine Mind, true effect is discerned, and it is seen that in divine reality empirical measures, experimental steps, are neither necessary nor possible. God, Mind, is all-knowing, and Mind's manifestation, man, reflects intelligence. Therefore no uncertain or revolutionary condition exists in the realm of the real, that of Spirit, where all creation is forever expressing perfect activity. A static state is incommensurate with the spiritual idea of being which is continually unfolding to bless the spiritual man.
