The Church of Christ, Scientist, demonstrates the universal laws of Life, Truth, and Love, which triumph over all that opposes the Christ, God's infinite idea. This Church expresses the element which is needed to uplift, regenerate, and heal the wounds of the world. The unifying element is the operation of divine Love embracing all in the universal family of God's creation.
The triumph of Spirit over materialism is a goal of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, and of its branches throughout the world, and its loyal members work individually for this triumph.
Paul said, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" I Cor. 3: 16 This temple is exemplified in a practical way when the teachings of our Master, Christ Jesus, are lived and loved. He taught the supremacy of Spirit and the universal law of Love, which frees mankind from the dream of suffering and discord. He taught humanity how to prevail over the claims of bigotry, ignorance, and hate through the wholehearted recognition of the Christ power. This teaching, upon which Mrs. Eddy founded her Church, will, when obeyed and acknowledged, bring into view the church triumphant. In "Pulpit and Press" Mrs. Eddy says, "No longer are we of the church militant, but of the church triumphant; and with Job of old we exclaim, 'Yet in my flesh shall I see God.'"Pul., p. 3
