Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, elucidates throughout her writings the distinction between the real and the unreal, defining God as divine Mind, the only Mind, who knows no evil, but who is conscious only of ever-present spiritual reality, forever unfolding good and good alone for all His children.

The familiar words, "Coming events cast their shadows before," may fill one's thought with vague forebodings. Yet, if one pauses to consider that a shadow owes its existence only to obstruction of the light, he may see there is no cause for alarm.
