THE FINAL CONFRONTATION

From the June 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


GOOD and evil have faced each other in human consciousness since the beginning of history. But it was not until the discovery of Christian Science by Mrs. Eddy that these two opposites were clearly defined as Spirit and matter.

In Science we learn that Spirit is All and that matter is nothing—the truth Christ Jesus proved through his healing works and through his own resurrection and ascension. Spirit is God, divine Mind, the infinite, eternal Principle, Love. Matter is the subjective state and the object of a supposed mind other than God. The false mind is called the carnal mind, or mortal mind.

Human history has recorded many confrontations of material belief and spiritual reality. In addition to the Master, such men as Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Daniel, Paul, Peter, and John proved the superiority of spiritual power over material belief. And since Mrs. Eddy's discovery, thousands of men and women have demonstrated the reign of Principle in the healing of diseases and discords.
