CHAPTER VI
SCIENCE, THEOLOGY, MEDICINE
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me
is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught
it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. — Paul.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. — Jesus.
IN the year 1866, I discovered the Christ Science or
Christian Science discovered
divine laws of Life, Truth, and Love, and
named my discovery Christian Science. God
had been graciously preparing me during many
years for the reception of this final revelation of the
absolute divine Principle of scientific mental healing.
This apodictical Principle points to the revelation of Immanuel, “God with us,” — the sovereign ever-presence, Mission of Christian Science delivering the children of men from every ill that flesh is heir to. Through Christian Science, religion and medicine are inspired with a diviner nature and essence; fresh pinions are given to faith and understanding, and thoughts acquaint themselves intelligently with God.
Feeling so perpetually the false consciousness that life Discontent with life inheres in the body, yet remembering that in reality God is our Life, we may well tremble in the prospect of those days in which we must say, “I have no pleasure in them.”
