Relatively few people have yet recognized the profound significance of the revelation that came to Mary Baker Eddy. Those who have pondered it a lifetime readily admit they are only beginning to appreciate its magnitude. But what they have gleaned of it leads them to realize that the revelation of Christian Science is the most monumental event that has taken place on earth since the resurrection and ascension of Christ Jesus.
Divine Science has revealed the true nature of God and man. The revelation provides the final and fundamental statement of reality. While Christian Scientists may have grown accustomed to referring to God's infinite allness and goodness and comfortably refer to the perfection of man and the unreality of evil, these concepts are only hazy abstractions to most people—in fact they are only slightly realized by Christian Scientists themselves. Simply telling the world of the perfection of God and man —the very reality of being—may not be convincing.
The implications of this revelation are so vast and so promising for all mankind, it is understandable why we have the deepest desire to convey to our fellow-man something of what Science reveals. We yearn to help people see that an understanding of God's supremacy heals sickness; that it breaks the chains of sin; that it subdues and dissolves every form of evil. The answer to every kind of suffering and lack, fear and despair, lies in the revelation that God is good, that evil is a lie, that man is a pure spiritual idea.
