SUPREMACY THROUGH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

From the September 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Does not the eagle, soaring serenely and fearlessly far above the earth, wonderfully typify a sense of hope, spiritual elevation, and inspiration? Does its flight not bring to us a better realization of the fact that man, the child of God, has dominion over all the earth? Christian Science reveals to each receptive heart the supremacy of Spirit, and the dominion of good. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy gives the illuminating statement (p. 511), "The fowls, which fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven, correspond to aspirations soaring beyond and above corporeality to the understanding of the incorporeal and divine Principle, Love." In applying this statement in our human experience, we can prove beyond doubt that spiritual thought, rising above materiality, gains ascendancy over the so-called forces and manifestations of evil of every nature.

Deeply embedded in human consciousness is a great yearning for a knowledge of something that will bring the solution of perplexing problems, the healing of sickness, disease, and wrong desire, and a surcease from the griefs and fears that so easily beset mankind. Many material methods have been proposed, and theories and philosophies set forth, but they have been found sadly lacking, and have left mankind still seeking a way out of difficulty and limitation.

However, with the coming of Christian Science, all this has changed, for chance and experiment are being made to give place to scientific certainty, and the ills and evils that have seemed so prevalent are gradually yielding to its healing and correcting ministration.
