THE INFINITESIMALS

From the July 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Mary Baker Eddy expected her followers to keep abreast of the times. This may indicate that Christian Scientists should grow in the understanding and demonstration of Truth's revelation to their Leader so that they may keep pace with the spiritual opportunities and demands of advancing ages. We are actually living in the appearing of the spiritually scientific age prophesied by Jesus and announced by the discovery of Christian Science. This epoch heralds the release of humanity from the confines of matter.

Those who move with the light of divine Science cannot remain within the barriers of personal sense but must experience the unparalleled demonstrations of reality. This light has already reached beyond individual mental gates to illumine national lanes of thought, overturning preconceived ideas of cause, power, and science. Human reason is touching the fringes of Truth.

Mrs. Eddy cautions us, "Let us attach our sense of Science to what touches the religious sentiment within man" (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 174). Do we not find her doing this very thing when asking whether the infinitesimals come from matter or from divine Mind? (See p. 26 of the same book.) Are the material atom, proton, neutron, and electron, which seem to possess massive strength through fusion and fission, the reality? Or are divine ideas, imbued with preservative omnipotence, the actuality? Which possess the nature of the creator of the universe, divine Principle, Love?
