CHRISTIAN SCIENCE reveals the changeless, unerring nature of the divine Principle, Love, and sets us to work to learn how to bring our thinking into line with its laws and rules, for only in this way can we demonstrate the harmony, peace, and love which inevitably follow such obedience. This entails alertness, consecration, and persistence in correcting whatever is shown to be wrong, unloving, or inharmonious in our thinking.
On page 240 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes, "In trying to undo the errors of sense one must pay fully and fairly the utmost farthing, until all error is finally brought into subjection to Truth." This statement shows the importance of correcting the seemingly small and insignificant things in our thinking—the little things, "the utmost farthing." How important this is, many a Christian Science student has discovered when the correction of a seemingly little error in his thinking has resulted in the healing of what humanly seemed something big.
In Isaiah we read, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." Thus we learn from the Scriptures that the thoughts which come from God, divine Principle, are very different from human thoughts. What mortal mind would have us classify as relatively unimportant is often of the greatest importance in that correction of thought which brings us into line with divine Principle and its healing effects.
