from divine power. God must be
found all instead of a part of being, and man the reflection of His power
and goodness. This Science rebukes sin with its own nothingness, and thus
destroys sin quickly and utterly. It makes disease unreal, and this heals
it.

The demonstration of moral and physical growth, and a scientific deduction
from the Principle of all harmony, declare both the Principle and idea to
be divine. If this be true, then death must be swallowed up in Life, and
the prophecy of Jesus fulfilled, "Whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die." Though centuries passed after those words were originally
uttered, before this reappearing of Truth, and though the hiatus be longer
still before that saying is demonstrated in Life that knows no death, the
declaration is nevertheless true, and remains a clear and profound
deduction from Christian Science.

IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE OF THE SAME LINEAGE AS SPIRITUALISM OR
THEOSOPHY?

Science is not susceptible of being held as a mere theory. It is hoary with
time. It takes hold of eternity, voices the infinite, and governs the
universe. No greater opposites can be conceived of, physically, morally,
and spiritually, than Christian Science, spiritualism, and theosophy.

Science and Health has effected a revolution in the minds of thinkers on
the subject of mediumship, and given impulse to reason and revelation,
goodness and virtue. A theory may be sound in spots, and sparkle like a
diamond, while other parts of it have no lustre. Christian Science is
sound in every part. It is neither warped nor misconceived, when properly
demonstrated. If a spiritualist medium understood the Science of
Mind-healing, he would know that between those who have and those who have
not passed the transition called death, there can be no interchange of
consciousness, and that all sensible phenomena are merely subjective states
of mortal mind.

Theosophy is a corruption of Judaism. This corruption had a renewal in the
Neoplatonic philosophy; but it sprang from the Oriental philosophy of
Brahmanism, and blends with its magic and enchantments. Theosophy is no
more allied to Christian Science than the odor of the upas-tree is to the
sweet breath of springtide, or the brilliant coruscations of the northern
sky are to solar heat and light.

IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FROM BENEATH, AND NOT FROM ABOVE?
