The truth as Christian Science reveals it is simple because it is pure. It is the same truth of the perfection of God and man which Christ Jesus so completely illustrated in his healing works.

In the account of Jesus' feeding of the five thousand in a desert place, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark, we read ( 6:41, 42 ), "When he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them.

According to the Holy Bible ( II cor. 4:18 ), "The things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy we read ( p. 93 ): "Divine logic and revelation coincide.

Man lives, moves, and has his being by virtue of divine law. To become aware of the fact of the supremacy and ever-presence of spiritual law, the law of God, Life, Truth, and Love, sets one's feet on the pathway which leads to the greatest possibilities and the highest achievements.

When the disciples were on their way to Capernaum, they disputed among themselves who should be greatest (see Mark 9: 33, 34). Matthew relates that they came to Jesus asking ( 18:1 ), "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" The account continues: "And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Many years ago, according to an account in the tenth chapter of Luke's Gospel, the most spiritually powerful man who ever lived, even Christ Jesus, appointed seventy of his students to go on a very important mission in preparing the way for his work in other places. He told them that they would be "as lambs among wolves," yet he gave them no material equipment wherewith to protect themselves.

Every individual has a purpose, a reason for existence. Without it, life would be empty and pointless.

Deep within the heart of men is a great yearning for peace. Yet generations ago Christ Jesus said ( John 14:27 ), "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.

In a world where fear seems inescapable it is a wondrous event when one finds that divine Love has a specific and blessed "Peace, be still" for every troubled heart. The glorious fact that Love casts out fear and frees men from its torment is proclaimed in the Scriptures, is explained thoroughly and understandably by Christian Science, and is being proved day in and day out in the lives of those who seek to understand and practice the fundamentals upon which this action rests.
