"The truest art of Christian Science is to be a Christian Scientist; and it demands more than a Raphael to delineate this art." So affirms Mrs. Eddy on page 375 of "Miscellaneous Writings."
The art of being a Christian Scientist is found as one expresses in increasing measure the capacity to think and live after the example of Christ Jesus. A true Christian Scientist is practicing an art that transcends even the best of human art. To become proficient in the human arts, one must spend much time in study, preparation, consecration, and practice.
Such devotion of thought is also required in the higher art of being a Christian Scientist. The results are not objects of art but regenerated lives, spiritualized thinking, sin and disease overcome, limitation and stagnation proved unreal. The Christian Scientist is practicing the art of right living, the art of living Christian Science.
