WE often use the words "a student of Christian Science" in referring to ourselves or to another individual. In view of the frequent use of these words, let us consider the depth of meaning contained in them so that we may not use them lightly.
Mrs. Eddy's reply to the question, "How would you define Christian Science?" reads (Rudimental Divine Science, p.1), "As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony." We might say, then, that a student of Christian Science is an individual who is making a study of "the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony" with a view to putting what he learns into action or, in other words, with a view to demonstrating this Principle and rule.
A student of any physical science who expects to progress and become proficient in it must adhere strictly to the rules and laws set forth in its authoritative textbooks. What two textbooks are there in the world greater than those provided for the student of Christian Science: the Bible and Science and Health, which was written by Mrs. Eddy and which contains the complete and final revelation of Truth?
