Principle and practice

God is the Principle of divine metaphysics. As there

is but one God, there can be but one divine Principle of all Science; and there must be fixed rules for the demon- stration of this divine Principle. The letter of Science plentifully reaches humanity to-day, but its spirit comes only in small degrees. The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love. With- out this, the letter is but the dead body of Science, - pulseless, cold, inanimate.
