forever to the baptized of Spirit: “This is my beloved
Son.” What but divine Science can interpret man's
eternal existence, God's allness, and the scientific inde-
structibility of the universe? [10]
The advancing stages of Christian Science are gained
through growth, not accretion; idleness is the foe of
progress. And scientific growth manifests no weakness,
no emasculation, no illusive vision, no dreamy absentness,
no insubordination to the laws that be, no loss nor lack [15]
of what constitutes true manhood.
