Proper self-government

Like our nation, Christian Science has its Declaration of Independence. God has endowed man with inalien- able rights, among which are self-government, reason, and conscience. Man is properly self- governed only when he is guided rightly and governed by his Maker, divine Truth and Love.

Man's rights are invaded when the divine order is in- terfered with, and the mental trespasser incurs the divine penalty due this crime.
