CHRISTIAN SCIENCE is the Science of divine, immaculate, eternal being. It is the Science of the creator and His creation. It sets forth clearly the truth about God and His laws, how these laws operate, and how they may be utilized in every hour of need. It reveals that God is infinite Love, boundless good, omnipotent Life, ever-present Spirit, immaculate Soul, omniscient Mind.
In the Scriptures we find this majestic statement of truth: "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all." Here it is set forth that God is All, over all, supreme, illimitable, infinite. In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" we have this beautiful correlative truth (p. 331): "God is individual, incorporeal. He is divine Principle, Love, the universal cause, the only creator, and there is no other self -existence. He is all-inclusive, and is reflected by all that is real and eternal and by nothing else."
The great spiritual truths which our Leader revealed to the world must be spiritually discerned, cherished, and demonstrated. She was led of God to provide many agencies by means of which the basic facts of being can be practically set forth, and by means of which they can be proved or demonstrated. She made provision for church services, periodicals, Christian Science lectures, and Reading Rooms. Now, let us suppose that through one of these instrumentalities someone who is in need is led to investigate Christian Science. He has been believing that God is the creator of both good and evil. He has probably been taught that good and evil are equally real, and that at one time he is in the presence of good and at another in the presence of evil. As a result, he experiences what he believes. At one time he is sick, and at another he is well; at one time he is virtuous, and at another sinful; at one time he is affluent, and at another lacking in good.
