Mary Baker Eddy states in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 2), "Goodness attains the demonstration of Truth." What a wonderful statement to study in our quest for Truth!
Only through goodness do we reach worthwhile goals. And the attainment, or demonstration of the truth, is surely the reward of goodness. The questions are: Do we understand goodness? From whence does it come? How can we acquire it? The thorough knowledge and application of Christian Science will answer such questions.
We approach the demonstration of Truth by a consecrated effort to understand God, Truth, and to follow the Christ in our daily living. Mortal opinions do not alter Truth. Nor is Truth affected by egotism or rhetoric. The faith shown in the simple words of a trusting child often demonstrates the power of Truth. Wisdom, fruitful experience, and the ability to express God are the outgrowths of -prayer and childlike trust in God, the Father.
