The Apostle John, whose clear understanding of Jesus' teachings made him the beloved disciple, epitomized his spiritual enlightenment in the profound but simple statement, "God is love. " In all his teaching and healing, Christ Jesus constantly refuted the erroneous views of Deity as both good and evil held by those who preceded him, and proved God to be Love.

In these days of evil's desperate bid for supremacy, there is a natural tendency to concentrate on the destruction of its more immediate forms. Let these be but effaced, it is concluded, and all will be well.

Christ Jesus , in one of his discourses, said to those who believed on his teaching, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, states in the Preface to her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p.

The truth concerning evil's impersonal nature was stated in unmistakable terms by the Apostle Paul in the seventh chapter of his epistle to the Romans, but it was not until the year 1866, when Mary Baker Eddy discovered the Science of Christian metaphysics, that a fuller significance of this all-important fact was revealed so that it could be universally utilized in the overcoming of mental and physical inharmonies.

Christ Jesus said, "I and my Father are one. " As did our Master, so must every Christian Scientist relinquish the sense of a selfhood apart from God, of a mind distinct from the one Mind.

Although equipollence is a term used but once in all the published works of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, its significance is so great as to bring healing and protection to all who even faintly grasp its true spiritual import. The definition of this term as found in Webster's dictionary, however, leaves much to be desired as far as the student of Christian Science is concerned.

On one of the outside walls of The Christian Science Publishing Society is inscribed in large bold letters this text from the sixty-eighth Psalm: "The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. " The vigilant member of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, never fails to remember that, proportionably to his active practice of Christian Science in all his daily affairs and duties, he constitutes himself a successful publisher of the Word of God, for his systematic exercise of the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy makes public, divulges, proclaims the good news of Christ to all the world in spiritual healing.
