Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.
Mrs. Eddy is acknowledged to be the
Discoverer and Founder of Christian
Science. and many people ask what it
is that she has discovered. IN reply
It can be said that she has discovered

truth.
Mrs. Eddy also studied the miracles
in the Old and New Testaments. and
came to the inevitable conclusion that
all Of those events were correlated by
means OF an underlying spiritual law
that had been known and understood by
the men who wrought them. and she
said that IL she could discover the law
same manner now as in Bible times;
that II would be a healing law. and
would now heal people of sickness and
sin and every evil human condition the
same as then.
This idea grew and expanded in her
consciousness until it became the i'm
polling motive of her entire life. In
the year 1866 she discovered the law
Of Spirit. and named II Christian
Science. After waiting nine years. dur
ing which time she subjected the Prin-
ciple that she had discovered to the
broadcast practical tests in healing sick
ness and other forms of human discord. |
she published statement OF Christian
Science in a book which she entitled
Science and Health with Key - the /
Scriptures" This book IA now every |

Of Christian Science. great religious |
movement has formed around its teach +.

spread of Christian Science has been
phenomenal. and its growth has resulted

Of many such conditions These facts
are easily verified. and are worthy of
very serious consideration.
Spiritual Law. ,
Mrs Eddy discovered the law Of Spirit |
as truly as Sir Isaac Newton discovered |
the law of gravitation. and this fact |
should be thoroughly understood. Just I
as Newton discovered that the move
ments Of material bodies are regulated !
and governed by this material law. so |
Mrs Eddy discovered the Principle that !
governs the entire universe, including |
every detail in the lives OF men. That |
supreme. creative. governing, omnipres-
ent Mind or Principle is God. the only |
cause. the only creator the only Ruler
of man and the universe.
Source Of Good and Evil.
Outside Of Christian Science very few
people have ever reasoned out the ques-
ton to their own satisfaction as to
where good and evil come from. and still
fewer have even a satisfactory theory
as 10 how good may be secured or evil
avoided in actual human experience.
Christian Science shows that all good
comes TO man from God through the OPP
Grafton Of His laws. and that evil orig
mates in the human carnal mind. which |
is "enmity againt Cod" EVIL is not an
entity 1t has no kingdom and no king.
II has no mind no presence. and no
laws The only power X can ever ex-
ercise Is what it derives from human
belief in it, and human acceptance Of it. /
Since Cod is infinite good He has
knowledge OF good and Of nothing else.
