Early in our application of Christian Science we discover that a watch must be kept not only upon individual thoughts, but upon the general character of our thinking. On page 114 of "Miscellaneous Writings" Mary Baker Eddy says: "Christian Scientists cannot watch too sedulously, or bar their doors too closely, or pray to God too fervently, for deliverance from the claims of evil.

The Scriptural implication that God is All-in-all is, in the teaching of Christian Science, carried to its ultimate and complete conclusion. Allness means all-inclusive everywhereness.
