The three great verities of Spirit, omnipotence, omni- 110:1 presence, omniscience, - Spirit possessing all power, filling all space, constituting all Science, - contradict 110:3 forever the belief that matter can be actual. These eternal verities reveal primeval exist- ence as the radiant reality of God's creation, 110:6 in which all that He has made is pronounced by His wis- dom good. Thus it was that I beheld, as never before, the awful 110:9 unreality called evil. The equipollence of God brought to light another glorious proposition, - man's perfecti- bility and the establishment of the kingdom of heaven on 110:12 earth. Scriptural foundations In following these leadings of scientific revelation, the Bible was my only textbook. The Scriptures were 110:15 illumined; reason and revelation were recon- ciled, and afterwards the truth of Christian Science was demonstrated. No human pen nor tongue 110:18 taught me the Science contained in this book, SCIENCE AND HEALTH; and neither tongue nor pen can over- throw it. This book may be distorted by shallow criti- 110:21 cism or by careless or malicious students, and its ideas may be temporarily abused and misrepresented; but the Science and truth therein will forever remain to be dis- 110:24 cerned and demonstrated. The demonstration lost and found Jesus demonstrated the power of Christian Science to heal mortal minds and bodies. But this power was lost 110:27 sight of, and must again be spiritually dis- cerned, taught, and demonstrated according to Christ's command, with "signs following." 110:30 Its Science must be apprehended by as many as believe on Christ and spiritually understand Truth. Mystical antagonists No analogy exists between the vague hypotheses of 111:1 agnosticism, pantheism, theosophy, spiritualism, or millenarianism and the demonstrable truths of Chris- 111:3 tian Science; and I find the will, or sensuous reason of the human mind, to be opposed to the divine Mind as expressed through divine Science.
