A Christian Scientist who had been helping another to gain a correct solution to a problem said: "Whatever the error—a cut on the finger or the tragedy of war—it is the age-old lie of divisibility. Our work is to know there is no division, because God is one and All."
It is a glorious step in the unfoldment of the student of Christian Science when he accepts the spiritual fact of infinite oneness. Mary Baker Eddy, in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and in her other writings, has much to say about the subject. In Science and Health (p. 267) she says: "God is one. The allness of Deity is His oneness." Then, ever alert to explain man's relationship to God, she adds, "Generically man is one, and specifically man means all men."
From this basis of understanding, the Christian Scientist proceeds to heal every discordant argument advanced by the dream of life in matter. Human philosophy, sociology, and intellectual education —however worthy their motives—have failed to solve the problems of humanity. Why? Because they have worked from the standpoint of a divided world, swarming with millions of persons, each having a separate mind, each buffeting and elbowing the other in an attempt at self-aggrandizement. By reversing this confused viewpoint and replacing it with an understanding of the oneness and allness of infinity, Christian Science dissipates every problem of mankind. Let us look at this leaven working in a few specific instances.
