The instructions of Christian Science coincide at all points with the teachings of the Scriptures. In no one aspect is this fact more in evidence than in its declarations and proof of the oneness of God. "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deut. 6:4). This theme is basic in every song of praise to God. It persists today in every utterance of Christian Science. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 267): "God is one. The allness of Deity is His oneness." Because God is one, all that relates to God is possessed of an inherent oneness. In this purity of distinction each idea remains eternally indivisible both in individuality and in identity.
The perfection of being is never distorted, because it is embraced in the allness of God. Nothing can contain divine Principle. Hence, divine Principle includes within itself both infinitude and the center of that infinitude—circumference as well as center. It is from this source that all ideas in creation forever emanate.
That by which and through means of which God sustains the unlimited unfoldment of good is Divine Science. This Science, as applied to the solution of mankind's so-called problems, is Christian Science, the discovery of Mrs. Eddy. Science, capitalized, is a broad term. As a subject, Science is to be approached with peculiar deference. It required humility on the part of Mrs. Eddy to conceive Science, and humility is a prerequisite to an understanding of even a least portion of it.
