By Violet Ker Seymer I.t>t us aJI look into the meaning- l)l these two words, "Christian" and "Science." The \\'ords "Christian" and "Christianity" qand for the rdigion founded in the first century, A. D. Christian Science is based on the inspired \Vord of the Bible, and stands squarely on the pure teaching and the all-satisfying, redemptive. h c a 1 in g works of Christ J esu~, the Wayshower. The word "science" is defined. in part, by \Vebster as: "Knowledge oi principles or facts. Profound, compre hensive knowledge made available in work, life or the search for truth." Christian Science is, therefore, the demonstrable knowledge of God, divine Truth, brought to bear on the human problems of poverty, sin, sickness, and discord of every name and nature. In her work "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 25), Mrs. Eddy tells us that she named this Science "Christian" "because it is compassionate, helpful, and spiritual." Christian Science is born of God, divine Jove. It is, therefore, His revelation, divinely endowed with authority to reveal the true nature of God and spiritual man good. L.p to the ti1llc of her discovery of Christian Science. :-he was fra!l. delicate. Mrs. F.ddy was highly cultured and intellectually g-iited. and s!tl' had a \\·ide outlook on life. At about the age of forty-five. she met with an accident which th~ doctors pronounced fatal. In her extremity, this spiritualh--minded "·oman begged the friends at her bedside to leave her alone with the Bible. As she reacl, in the 11intb chapter of :\fatthew of the instantaneous ·healing of the man sick of the palsy, the revelation of God's will so illumined her consciousness that she. too rose from what was expected t.) be 'her death-bed, and walked, insta:Jtaneoush· healed. Awed by this miracle and impelled by her deep love for 'God and humanity. she then withdrew entirely from society, and, for three years, alone with the 1;lible, in her modest home in the town of Lynn, Massachusetts, she studied and pondered the great facts of spi.ritual being and spiritual law, to which alone the marvel of her healing could be attributed.
