EACH individual has a reason for existing, and a study of Christian Science makes plain the spiritual work awaiting him. Life becomes more meaningful as the student acquaints himself with God through the light which Science throws upon Bible pages. This light enables one to recognize his indissoluble relationship to God; it enables him to learn to serve God in his thinking, and joyously to provide the world with daily proofs of the practical nature of his understanding of God and his usefulness to Him.
During the human experience of almost everyone, there comes a time when questions such as the following invade consciousness: What is my purpose in life? Why am I here? Do I have a reason for existing? Is my activity of any use? For many people these questions go unanswered for years while they search fruitlessly for the truth of their being. But there is a positive answer to be found in Christian Science.
Mrs. Eddy makes this thought-provoking statement in her book Miscellany (p. 165): "Goodness never fails to receive its reward, for goodness makes life a blessing. As an active portion of one stupendous whole, goodness identifies man with universal good. Thus may each member of this church rise above the oft-repeated inquiry, What am I? to the scientific response: I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is my rock of salvation and my reason for existing."
