ON page 469 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the author, Mary Baker Eddy, writes: "We can have but one Mind, if that one is infinite. We bury the sense of infinitude, when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all space is filled with God."
Christian Science emphasizes the truth that there is one Mind and one only, and that this Mind is infinite. Nothing can interfere with the activity of infinite Mind, and there are no antagonistic minds to oppose it. Divine Mind fully comprehends, apprehends, and appraises the truth of every situation. Mind does not err; therefore no mistakes, accidents, or misadventures occur in man's actual experience, for God, good, is All-in-all—all presence, all power, all Science.
Mind knows nothing of mortality or the schemes and prevarications of mortals. Any attempts to oppose the supremacy of Mind are as futile as a shadow cast across a railroad track would be to arrest the progress of an express engine. Is your pathway beset by the shadows of sorrow, disease, or death? Then the remedy is at hand. How much power do you attribute to Mind, God, and how much control do you concede to matter? Is the shadow of materiality a power? Can it order, or hinder, or disturb the omniaction of God? Does the driver of an express locomotive stop to count the shadows on the track? Does he slacken speed because he is approaching one?
