 Christian Science declares to be eter- nal ever- present, demonstrable facts
 of being. for they are the Science of
 Life. the theology of Spirit, and the
 healing method of Truth. Christian
 Science teaches that these are the divine systems which Jesus lived and
 labored to reveal to mankind. In fact
 these are the systems which all re-
 formers have perceived dimly and have labored to reveal to men. Chris
 t'a~ Science utterly refutes the sug-
 gestion that reformers such as Abra-
 ham or Moses, Luther or Wesley were striving to bring to humanity some in-
 definite and impracticable idealism.
 It declares without hesitation that they perceived and understood to some extent the only real Science, the absolute Science of spiritual being.
 which explains Gods true nature and the relationship of true being to God, I the only true theology, the exact, scientific, saving and redeeming eff l feet of Truth upon human thought, and the only true healing method, the | infinite ability of spiritual under standing or of spiritual thinking to deliver from the diseases of mortal l thought and experience. Christian 1 Science teaches that these are also 1 the divine systems which are re- vealed and outlined throughout the I Scriptures and that the Bible is no fairy story, but is, when it's teachings
 are properly understood, the book of
 absolute Science. of pure theology and
 of scientific healing. Christ Jesus the Saviour of men foresaw and fore l told that these three systems reveal ing the eternal facts of being should some day appear to humanity in all | their certainty and science. This ap- bearing he foretold as the coming oi | "the Spirit of truth" (John 16, 13) and Christian Scientists know that to- day there has been revealed to hu-
 manity that for which men have
 prayed and suffered, that for which
 they have lived and died and fol
 which they have been willing to sac
 rifice all. This blessed thing is tn,
 existence, which expresses itsel ! through divine Science. and whicl Mary Baker Eddy has discovered il

Christian Scientists recognize ths 'f they are only beginners in the under l. standing of the Science of Christian l. ity and they do not claim to be al n, solute and complete demonstrators tt this Science. In fact they freely ad o init that there has only been one pel d feet demonstrator of Christian Scieno s and that is Jesus the Christ.
