Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL OF DISCIPLESHIP

" The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ," declared John. United in having the same source of inspiration, both the Decalogue and the gospel of our Master are revelations of divine law.

"THE CENTRAL FACT OF THE BIBLE"

In the Manual of The Mother Church in Article XX, which governs all Christian Science Sunday Schools, our beloved Leader has put forward a wonderful concept of spiritual education. This can be utilized not only in the Sunday school, but also in the home, for the purpose of giving to our children the Christian and scientific knowledge of God and His laws, which will enable them to demonstrate their God-given dominion.

Through spiritual understanding gained in Christian Science, thought is unloosed from the bondage of mortal mind to enjoy the freedom and fullness of Life. The Science of Christ reveals the positive and certain remedy for every human discord, be it lack of health, happiness, employment, plenty, or success.
