Science saith to fear, "You are the cause of all sickness; but you are a self-constituted falsity,--you are darkness, nothingness. You are without 'hope, and without God in the world.' You do not exist, and have no right to exist, for 'perfect Love casteth out fear.'" God is everywhere. "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard;" and this voice is Truth that destroys error and Love that casts out fear. Christian Science reveals the fact that, if suffering exists, it is in the mortal mind only, for matter has no sensation and cannot suffer. If you rule out every sense of disease and suffering from mortal mind, it cannot be found in the body. Posterity will have the right to demand that Christian Science be stated and demonstrated in its godliness and grandeur,--that however little be taught or learned, that little shall be right. Let there be milk for babes, but let not the milk be adulterated. Unless this method be pursued, the Science of Christian healing will again be lost, and human suffering will increase. Test Christian Science by its effect on society, and you will find that the views here set forth--as to the illusion of sin, sickness, and death--bring forth better fruits of health, righteousness, and Life, than _a belief in their reality has ever done_. A demonstration of the _unreality_ of evil destroys evil. |
