MRS. EpDY's RELATION TO
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Right here II may be helpful To-
say a word about Mrs. Eddy. Tho
right sense OF Christian Science
can be gained only ns We gain tho
right sense Of Mrs. Eddy and un.I
dcrstand her relation to this Science
and It's movement. As has been
said. Mrs Eddy Is tho Discovercr
and Founder OF Christian Science.
She never made any but this most
modest claim for herself, giving
God-who through tho Christ,
Truth. Is the solo revelator. the
sole author Of all that Is good
entire credit for It's teachings. Tho
Bible teaches that whom tho Lord
loveth no chastcneth." In other
words. II teaches that whom the
Lord loveth Hs makes chaBto or
pure: and Jesus said that the pure
in heart shall sec God. We have
seen that God II all.encompasaing
intelligence or Mind. For this rea.
son God is Love. as we have seen
that He is. and as the beloved
disciple declared Him TO be: and
surely God--who mnde all that was
made and made all good--loves nil.
Wero this not so. then God. pure
intelligence. would have created and
would include in Himself tho abso'I
lutely impossible something I'M.
lovely or ENJOYABLE. Only those
who love God, good. are admisslve
OF. and submissive 10 Him. Mrs.
Eddy loved God. For this reason
she was 80 chastcned. made so pure
by Him, that through the right idea
OF Him she was able 10 see Him,
to discover Him. and TO make God
and His Christ known TO all who
arc willing to receive Christ.
Truth. Moro than this, sho so
loved God that she was willing toI
devote herself entirely 10 making
Him known. so that all might
"tasto and see that the Lord Isl
good" that Ho is tho only healing,
saving, regenerating power. She
demonstrated her discovery by
healing all manner OF diseases. She
taught others 10 do likewise. She
wrote tho only textbook of Chris.
