"LOVE is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals. It is the open fount which cries, 'Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,'" writes Mary Baker Eddy on page 13 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
At an early age our Leader was convinced of the impartiality of Love. When she was only twelve years old, she protested vigorously against the doctrine of predestination, because it decreed that believers were to be saved and unbelievers were to be condemned. In later years, when she discovered Christian Science, she extended the concept of universal salvation to cover sickness as well as sin. There is, perhaps, significance in the fact that the Gospel story of the palsied man, which inspired her own initial healing, includes salvation from both sin and sickness.
It was revealed to her that salvation is not a process which separates mortals from each other and grades them. Rather does a full salvation involve the separation of man, God's likeness, from identification with mortal imperfections in any degree.
