A Better understanding of the universality of God, as revealed by Christian Science, wipes out false pride and inherited prejudices, whether they be personal or chauvinist. A healing experience of one student of Christian Science, about which it has been this writer's privilege to know, indicates the grand possibilities for all.
This student found Christian Science a good many years ago and tried to apply its teaching to further her career as a musician and teacher. The results were not outstanding, and for a time she felt thwarted and discouraged. One day in her study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," she was struck by what its author, Mary Baker Eddy, writes on page 520: "Human language can repeat only an infinitesimal part of what exists."
Now this student had a very deep affection for her own language and an artist's perceptive use of it. She felt that it sufficed to express every nuance of meaning and that it amply translated the profoundest metaphysical ideas. But she was eager, as are all Christian Scientists, to learn more of "what exists," that is, of the spiritually real and eternal.
