EQQy spiritual COllSSiouoiiSoSs
and her life which was devoted
to an understanding of God, she
saw the universal nature of the
Christ. This divine appearance
came to Mrs. Eddy's spiritual
consciousness much as the
earth's higher atmosphere first
catches and then reflects the
light of the dawning sun Mrs.
Eddy understood the timeless
nature of her discovery She
knew it to be the eternal Christ,
the universal Saviour of all
mankind. Her revelation is
bringing to humanity the true
idea of man as Loves express
sion.
The Christ includes all identi-
ties. This means that the Christ
will eventually transform all hu-
manity. Christ, Truth, when
understood brings the purity of
Principle. 1t inspires singleness
of purpose, adherence to divine
law, spiritual vision. 1t makes
possible the detection of des-
potism, and the revolution of
thought which destroys the tyr
amy of the carnal mind. 1t
brings peace to the troubled
world. Hear Mrs. Eddy's words
in Science and Health Up. 96):
"This material world is even
now becoming the arena for con-
flicting forces. On one side there
will be discord and dismay; on
the other side there will be Sci
ence and peace" She further
says, "These disturbances will
continue until the end of error,
when all discord will be swal-
lowed up in spiritual Truth" "
Today above the storms, dark
ness, and tempest of the world
thought the stiffness and free
dom which come by the touch of
Gods hand. Paul writes III Cor.
BID, "Where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty"
Christ Reveals Mans Dominion
We have been considering
what the Christ is and how it
appears in human thought. Now
we are ready for the third ques-
ton: "Can the Christ establish
my dominion over fear, failure,
sickness, and accidents?" This is
one of the most important ques-
tions we can ask. If we are to
know the answer we must turn
from. the materiality of the world
and seek the Christ, our Saviour
Every demonstration of Chris
tian Science healing requires a
change of base from the mortal
to the immortal.
Peace will come to the world
when through the understanding
of the universal nature of the
Christ each individual is able to
choose between the real man
made in the image of God, and
so-called mortal man controlled
by fictitious material forces.
What the Christian world faces
today is no secret. A recent ar
ticle in The Christian Science
Monitor describes the challenge
presented by those "who have
no concept of man as an individ-
ual created in Gods image, and
who are convinced that humans
are Observation-Disclosures mecha-
nisms to be utilized, manipu-
lated, mass-controlled" The Sci
ence of Christ brings to mankind
the ability to make the correct
choice and to see man as did
Christ Jesus, as the image of
God, the very expression of
peace. 1t brings the present sal
vation that gives "us this day
our daily bread"
Mortals generally think of sal
vation as taking place at some
future time and after the expe-
rience called death. But Mrs.
Eddy's discovery reveals the
healing power of the Christ to
be an ever-present reality in
individual consciousness. This
power enables one whose char
acter is Christly to prove that
''now is the day of salvation" as
the Bible clearly states (II Cor.
6:2).
We find salvation by looking
beyond the fable to the fact, be-
yond the mechanistic to the spir-
itual, beyond the mortal to the
immortal. Divine Principle en-
ables one to go straight to the
right choice and stick to it. Thus
we find salvation. We feel divine

Dominion over Accidents
SIS the law of Christ truly un-
failing? Can the Christ prevent
accidents?" These are questions
which Christian Science answers
affirmatively. 1t is increasingly
accepted that accidents have a
mental cause. Present day medi-
cal and traffic authorities as well
as insurance executives have
concluded from their studied OBJ
servations that some people are
accident prone" But none of
these professionals has given us
an unfailing remedy for the pre-
vention of accidents. This rem
edy comes to us only through
the Christ.
Christian Science gives us a
divinely assured way of prevent
ing accidents, as many Christian
Scientists testify. Mrs. Eddy
writes (Science and Health, p.
424): Accidents are unknown to
God, or immortal Mind, and we
must leave the mortal basis of
belief and unite with the one
Mind, in order to change the
notion of chance to the proper
sense of Gods unerring direc-
tion and thus bring out har-
mony." In this statement there
is no admonition to curtail our
