IN "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us (p. 199), "The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible." These are encouraging words to all and especially to students of Christian Science.
Christian Science is not a theory to become outworn with the passing of time. It is eternal and practical truth. A student will make no progress in the understanding and demonstration of this Science if he keeps his head in the clouds, as the saying goes. He must gain a clear understanding of God's creation, including his own real, spiritual selfhood, as taught in Christian Science, and then make practical use of his understanding.
Christian Science reveals the allness of God, good, and the unreality or nothingness of all that is unlike good. As one advances in the study of Science, its practical possibilites unfold to him until he comes to the conclusion that no inharmonious or disturbing situation exists, whether individual, national, or world-wide, which cannot be corrected and healed by the understanding and prayerful application of the teachings of this Science.
