kind through individuals whose spiritual
perception was sufficiently clear to make
it possible for them to become reveiators-
This succession of revelation has cuiminated
in this age with the discovery OF Christian
Science which its Discoverer says reconciies
reason and revelation
DISCOVERY AND DISCovERER
Those who have had experience in noun
tain climbing will recall how. after toiling
up out of the narrow confines OF the canon
along the winding trails. they have finally
been able to reach the very summit OF the
range. Having attained this exalted view
point. they have paused to gaze on the
beauty of the panorama spread before
them. There among the foothills nestles
the village from which they have so lately
made their way. Yonder through the val
ley winds the widening river. On the
other side OF the valley stretchs another
range OF mountains, its snow-capped peaks
gIstening in the sunlight.
Nothing has been added to the landscape
since the traveller reached the summit, but
he has attained an eminence which enables
him to discern that which was sl-7ady
there This experience of the traveller IL
illustrates the phenomenon OF spiritual dis
covery. The seer and prophet in the spirit
uaI realm becomes such because of his
ability to rise in consciousness above tho
narrowness and limitation OF material think
ing to the altitude OF broad. spiritual vision
Thus he attains the point Of view that en-
ables him to comprehend the facts OF being
and reveal them to others. He does not
add to that which is. but be dscerns that
which always was. This describes the ex-
perience of spiritual leaders OF All times
Mary Baker Eddy did not invent any
thing in her discovery OF Christian Science
She did not add to that which already was.
She discovered the Principle underlying tho
spiriaual healing OF physical disease by the
prophets by Christ Jesus. and by the carly
Christians. As the result OF her discovery
she was able to restore to the world not
only the Science Of healing but the Science
OF being.
