How then are we going to start 10
pre5e these things: When one begins to
s. vitality interested in Christian Science
the first thing he does if he really wants
70 understand IL so that he can prove IL
for himself and in his daily life. is to
study the Bible and the Christian Science
textbook. Science and Health with hey
TO the Scripture" As he studies these
books intelligently, he finds that they
teach one God or power, divine Mind, or
Spirit, the only creator and one true
existence, spiritual being.
As he begins to understand these facts
he is standing exactly where the Revela-

such as sin. disease. or death, could have
reality or presence in fact.

mortal belief in a power opposed TO
God. or. out OF hell, and he is coming
