Having read these figures, what do they tell us? Very little, since algebra cannot compute or alchemy resolve them into the true substance of which they are the human expression. The mission of Christian Science is to heal and redeem and what was accomplished through this new and united labor “knoweth no man.” It blessed not only those who have received but also those who have given, and each in proportion, not to the number of garments turned out, but to the clarity of the healing thought that lay behind them. This unique organization has ceased its outward activity and disbanded, but human ingenuity is powerless to nullify its invisible inspiration. That will continue to move forward through undivided space and uncounted time, carrying with it the comfort of the Christ-love and giving “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”
