UNITY VERSUS SEPARATION

From the December 1939 issue of The Christian Science Journal


CAN anything be real without God as the source and condition of its being? No. Do we accept this fact without question? Not unless we unhesitatingly and unreservedly accept the truth of our Leader's many clear statements as to the allness of God and the nothingness of mortal mind. Man is, because God is. All real being is the reflection of God, for God is All-in-all. The claim of separation from God is the false argument of mortal mind against the unity of good.

Separation is another name for inharmony in personal and church affairs. It is simply lack of unity, lack of recognition of the oneness of Mind and its manifestation, the oneness of God and His idea, man. Christian Science enables one to realize his spiritual integrity or divine wholeness, his unity with God. The integrity of a church assumes as definite a character as the integrity of its individual members.

The Christian Science church stands in a community as a monitor, pointing the way of salvation through demonstration of spiritual law. It stands for spiritual oneness, for the coincidence of God and man as well as the coincidence of the human and divine. Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, says (Miscellaneous Writings, p.100): "Science speaks when the senses are silent, and then the evermore of Truth is triumphant. The spiritual monitor understood is coincidence of the divine with the human, the acme of Christian Science."'
