CHRISTIAN SCIENCE is defined by its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, in "Rudimental Divine Science"' (p. 1), "As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony." In view of the many plans and pleas for a better world, is not her statement one to remember? People today seem overwhelmed with a sense of frustration, injustice, and fear of the future, not knowing any means for redress or the way out, drifting along in a current of materialism, hoping that in some way or other things will come right. The teachings of Christian Science have come to the world and provide a definite solution to all problems.
One might ask, How can the law of God, which is spiritual, deal with these material conditions? The answer is, God is the only real lawmaker; therefore if one understands spiritual law as interpreted in Christian Science and obeys it, he is utilizing the power of Spirit to help overcome all the discordant material conditions which are the suppositional opposites to the manifestations of Truth and good. The law of God is always in operation, active and ever present, because God is infinite Spirit, filling all space.
Christ Jesus plainly said in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5:17, 18): "Think not that I am come to destroy the law. . . . I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." He further declared, "One jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." In demonstrating man's sonship with the Father, God, Jesus indicated the necessity for every individual to discover and understand the immortality of good and man's true relationship to God.
