36 Pages ~ PRE-EXISTENCE ~ THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR ORIGIN ~ Just think: it was over one hundred and twenty-one years ago this month that Mrs. Eddy first began to have regular meetings of her followers, and to refer to them as "Christian Scientists." Consider what an enormous effect this movement has had on man's thought. Nuclear physicists, the high priests of matter, are now openly referring to matter in their speeches as "crystallized thought." 

The recent widespread interest in occultism and Orientalism, misguided and mistaken as it is, is the result of man's turning from gross materialism and reaching out for the spiritual. Even in materia medica the intense interest in, and development of, psychosomatic medicine demonstrates an increased recognition of the mental nature of all things. It has become "respectable" for even such reputable organizations as the Stanford Research Institute and the Menninger Foundation to conduct scientific experiments with E.S.P. and other elements of parapsychology. [Interestingly enough, they refer to it as the "Science of Consciousness."] It is all the "leaven" at work, and, fermenting and stirring as it may be, the ultimate turning to the truths taught by Christian Science is inevitable. It remains the only viable and workable answer to the self-destroying turmoil of material existence.
This is why the purity and sanctity of this Science of the Christ must be protected and sustained against dilution and adulteration. These association meetings are a period for renewal and rededication to this holy purpose of rededicating ourselves to the purity of Christian Science, as taught by our Leader, since Christian Science is truly the "hope of the world" and man's salvation.
