"THE LESSON OF TO-DAY"

From the August 1943 issue of The Christian Science Journal


impersonalize scientifically the material sense of existence —rather than cling to personality— is the lesson of to-day," writes Mary Baker Eddy (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 310). These beneficent words of our beloved Leader are vitally important in relation to all human affairs and aid us in overcoming the aggressive threats of animal magnetism claiming to be prevalent.

Mortals have been falsely educated over a period of centuries to "cling to personality" tenaciously and often unconsciously. But thanks be to Christian Science, which through its God-bestowed laws of righteousness, in this spiritually illumined age, is showing humankind in a practical manner how to "impersonalize scientifically the material sense of existence." Truly, it is the earnest desire of alert students of Christian Science to impersonalize not only evil with its myriad mental suggestions, but likewise to avoid the personalizing of good.

Fidelity to Principle enables one to prove with certainty the utter unreality of evil. The way to impersonalize evil is to realize that because of God's allness there is no evil, since everything that God creates is good. Even though evil appears to be real and potent in human experience, let us be on guard to demonstrate its unreality by reversing its every claim with the truth about God, man, and the universe.
