The Honest Truth

        Some years ago a friend who was a student of Christian Science, as I was and still am, said to me:  "Remember, it's the absolute Truth that redeems us."  What did he mean by this?  That the God-given Truths Christ Jesus gave the world, and the Truth the teachings of Christian Science reiterate, are what redeem us.  Redeem us from what?  From the false, mortal sense of existence as apart from God, and being in matter.


        And how grateful I am to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, that the divine facts given in her master work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" not only have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands over the years, all over the world, but they continue to do so.


        Instead of watering down what God gave her to give mankind, she writes in the Preface to this work:  "The author has not compromised conscience to suit the general drift of thought, but has bluntly and honestly given the text of Truth.  She has made no effort to embellish, elaborate, or treat in full detail so infinite a theme. By thousands of well-authenticated cases of  healing, she and her students have proved the worth of her teachings."


        I and so many others are the beneficiaries of the honest Truth found in her book.
