nature referred to. But I now
point steadfastly to the power of grace to overcome evil with good. God
will "furnish a table in the wilderness" and show the power of Love.

Science is not the shibboleth of a sect or the cabalistic insignia of
philosophy; it excludes all error and includes all Truth. More mistakes are
made in its name than this period comprehends. Divinely defined, Science is
the atmosphere of God; humanly construed, and according to Webster, it is
"knowledge, duly arranged and referred to general truths and principles on
which it is founded, and from which it is derived." I employ this
awe-filled word in both a divine and human sense; but I insist that
Christian Science is demonstrably as true, relative to the unseen verities
of being, as any proof that can be given of the completeness of Science.

The two largest words in the vocabulary of thought are "Christian" and
"Science." The former is the highest style of man; the latter reveals and
interprets God and man; it aggregates, amplifies, unfolds, and expresses
the ALL-God. The life of Christ is the predicate and postulate of
all that I teach, and there is but one standard statement, one rule, and
one Principle for all scientific truth.

My hygienic system rests on Mind, the eternal Truth. What is termed matter,
or relates to its so-called attributes, is a self-destroying error. When a
so-called material sense is lost, and Truth restores that lost sense,--on
the basis that all consciousness is Mind and eternal,--the former position,
that sense is organic and material, is proven erroneous.

The feasibility and immobility of Christian Science unveil the true
idea,--namely, that earth's discords have not the reality of Mind in the
Science of being; and this idea--dematerializing and spiritualizing
mortals--turns like the needle to the pole all hope and faith to God, based
as it is on His omnipotence and omnipresence.

Eternal harmony, perpetuity, and perfection, constitute the phenomena of
being, governed by the immutable and eternal laws of God; whereas matter
and human will, intellect, desire, and fear, are not the creators,
controllers, nor destroyers of life or its harmonies. Man has an immortal
Soul, a divine Principle, and an eternal being. Man has perpetual
individuality; and God's laws, and their intelligent and harmonious action,
constitute his individuality in the Science of Soul.

In its literary expression, my system of Christian metaphysic
