Science and Iealth, page 2Oo:.

parapherllaia OF speculative theories. based
on the hypothesis OF material law or life
and intelligence resident in matter. will ult-

calculus Of Spirit
This is the teaching of Christ Jesus,
and Mrs. Eddy saws it is the high
goal Of Christian Science. The
cmcrgcucc out of the material. or
fcShlv organization, so-called matter

posed to God, is a prerequisite to the
final understanding Of man. as the SON
OF God made in the image and like
ness Of God, Spirit, eternal Life and
Love. This is not accomplished
through death. or the destruction OF the
human body, but through stirifno1i@o-
ton of thought.
Thus. Mrs. Stetson was called. bv
her Leader and Teacher, Mary Baker
Eddy. to advance beyond the four
simple fundamental rules Of stiituol
mathematics, and to enter the "4th
dimension of Spirit. which those who
have not mastered the primitile rules
of material organization, either of
so-called flesh body or of a so-called
material church, cannot understand.

Stetson of those who remain in ma

In 1886 Mrs. Eddy sent Mrs. Stet-
son to New York City to "establi>h
the Christianity OF Christian Science"
in'that city. How 7vrN and fdIthfnIly
Mrs. Stetson has fulfilled her appointed
mission, is attested in the following
letter from her Teacher and Leader,
Mary Baker Eddy:
