Why do so many who are not active Christian Scientists appreciate The Christian Science Monitor? One reason certainly is that the Monitor has such high standards of journalism. But there is a deeper reason. This unique newspaper is an integral part of the Church of Christ, Scientist.
Every activity Mrs. Eddy included in her Church is there to heal. Healing in Science is far more than a physical change from sickness to health. Spiritual healing involves a mental change from belief in matter to an understanding of Spirit's allness. This gradual mental shift away from the belief that matter is real and final unfolds a clearer understanding that only God and His spiritual creation are real and final.
Only the Christ, Truth, the manifestation of God, can bring this change. There is only one Christ, and it has always existed. Jesus understood and taught the Christ, and with his living of it he healed. Christ is wonderful beyond words. When this Truth is lived and loved, it gives evidence that God is good and All and that man in reality is His perfect, eternal idea.
