 Al Christian Science has also brought

 Spirit of God as the essential es. Rfnce of all reality--we get glimps, b the glorious fact that man and tn, ,1iverse, as Image and reflection Q lie substance must be indestructihl, fhd eternal, incorruptible, It wa %is understanding that enabled Jesu .hd Peter and Paul and the earl!
