"PRACTICE, NOT PROFESSION"

From the February 1958 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The world's great need of love is apparent on every side, a love that is deep, abiding, and unchanging under all circumstances. Learning to express more love in our innermost thoughts will enable us to be more loving and kind, forgiving and patient, friendly and co-operative with our fellow men.

In I John we read (4:16), "God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." The Bible is full of accounts of how the understanding of ever-present Love protected and defended mankind, fed the multitudes, healed the sick, made the maimed whole, redeemed the sinner, and raised the dead to life and health. In fact, there is nothing that God, infinite Love, cannot do for mankind.

All through the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, runs the theme of God's great love and care for His children. Christian Science teaches us how to love spiritually. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy makes this statement (p. 365): "If the Scientist reaches his patient through divine Love, the healing work will be accomplished at one visit, and the disease will vanish into its native nothingness like dew before the morning sunshine."
