Like the sick man, we wait until the majestic Christ commands us to arise help ourselves, instead of waiting for others to put us into the cleansing current. Let us recognize, then, the allness, the tenderness, the sacredness of this divine Love by submerging ourselves in it, until all thoughts of evil, suffering or hatred are lost in its embrace.
He who pointed the way of Life conquered also the drear subtlety of death. It was not to appease the wrath of God, but to show the allness of Love and the nothingness of hate, sin, and death, that Jesus suffered. He lived that we also might live. He suffered, to show mortals the awful price paid by sin, and how to avoid paying it.
Tell me about your flower that never was before your Breath of Life. CLAIRE: I'll know to-morrow. You'll not go until I know? TOM: I'll try to stay. I don't want to die on the edge! TOM: Not you! CLAIRE: Many do. It's what makes them too smug in allness those dead things on the edge, died, distorted trying to get through. Oh don't think I don't see The Edge Vine!
But do we grant these premises do we grant Mrs. Eddy's fundamental pantheistic assumption of "the allness of God" ? We have shown again and again why we do not; and with the rejection of the basal tenet of Christian Science the superstructure follows. But now let us show how all Mrs.

In brief, the proper kind of thoroughness calls for a good degree of good sense. The thoroughness that is here advocated implies no underestimate of little things; it only condemns want of discrimination among them.
At the very best her system is, as every historian knows, only a slight revision of the Oriental Philosophy; and notwithstanding its forged name Christian, it is truly subversive of the doctrine of Christ. Her grand central doctrine of the "allness" of mind and the unreality of matter is a true copy of the "fantastic idealism" of the Gnostics. Gnosticism was based on "speculative knowledge."
"Yes, indeed, we all see that that is the ultimate," interposed Kate with some warmth, "but when and how are we to reach it?" "In the first place we must know that the ultimate is always in the Now, and that by holding to our highest statements with that thought, we can rest in the consciousness of the allness of Good as Grace has expressed it.
"When the will of man is at one with the will of God, when man realizes his mortal nothingness and the allness of God, there is divine and perfect healing. The poet was right when he wrote, 'Our wills are ours we know not how, Our wills are ours to make them Thine.
Does not this whole tangle serve yet once more to illustrate the futility of that doctrine of Divine allness which we have seen successfully masquerading as Divine immanence? Let us test the worth of these speculations in yet another way. Christian Science declares evil to be non-existent, illusory, an "error of thought."
