From Genesis to Revelation the Scriptures teach an infinite God, and none
beside Him; and on this basis Messiah and prophet saved the sinner and
raised the dead,--uplifting the human understanding, buried in a false
sense of being. Jesus rendered null and void whatever is unlike God; but he
could not have done this if error and sin existed in the Mind of God. What
God knows, He also predestinates; and it must be fulfilled. Jesus proved
to perfection, so far as this could be done in that age, what Christian
Science is to-day proving in a small degree,--the falsity of the evidence
of the material senses that sin, sickness, and death are sensible claims,
and that God substantiates their evidence by knowing their claim. He
established the only true idealism on the basis that God is All, and He is
good, and good is Spirit; hence there is no intelligent sin, evil _mind_ or
matter: and this is the only true philosophy and realism. This divine
mystery of godliness was the rock of Truth, on which he built his Church of
the new-born, against which the gates of hell cannot prevail.

This Truth is the rock which the builders rejected; but "the same is become
the head of the corner." This is the chief corner-stone, the basis and
support of creation, the interpreter of one God, the infinity and unity of
good.

In proportion as mortals approximate the understanding of Christian
Science, they take hold of harmony, and material incumbrance disappears.
Having one God, one Mind, one consciousness,--which includes only His own
nature,--and loving your neighbor as yourself, constitute Christian
Science, which must demonstrate the nothingness of any other state or stage
of being.
