Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, through her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has unlocked the door to the deeper meaning of the Bible. In clarifying hitherto faintly understood teachings of Holy Writ, the author of Science and Health leads her student, through Bible precedent and precept, unerringly to the sublime fact of man's immortality. Through the ages this great fact has engaged the attention of the greatest thinkers. That it so engaged the thought of Moses, to mention one, is apparent from Biblical record. When viewed through Christian Science, the earliest recorded spiritual experience of Moses, as given in Exodus, points to his discovery of God's presence and a glimpse perhaps of man's real origin and spiritual condition.
Did not Moses perceive in the example of the burning but unconsumed bush the powerlessness of material conditions to destroy? And Christian Science in its revelation of the nothingness of matter shows that material conditions have no power to give life; and that matter is neither thing, place, nor person.
That this experience was an important revelation to Moses, unfolding a deeper understanding of his real origin and of his immortal relationship to God, would appear to be supported by the record; for it is written that at the moment Moses turned aside to examine the bush he heard the voice of God.
