For Christian Scientists this term takes on greater meaning as societies and branch churches learn how the understanding and practice of Christianity can transform thought from a material to a spiritual basis.
For example, the lecture committee of an English branch church based its study on the first tenet of Christian Science as well as another statement by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health: "Christianity causes men to turn naturally from matter to Spirit, as the flower turns from darkness to light." Science and Health, pp. 458-45 What resulted from this study was a greater sense of family love. This was not unique. Reports from the Field point to a growing realization of what the textbooks, the Church Manual by Mrs. Eddy, and Church signify for the entire human family.
