In the course of history, advancing to newer horizons, Mary Baker Eddy's name shall stand as a watchword for all who honestly seek and are able to demonstrate the truth that no one at her time had ears to hear nor could understand.  The people of her time heard and saw what their background allowed them to see, and this was evidently sufficient to produce great wonders which were wrought to a large measure on a platform of faith - faith in something called Christian Science.  But this faith has faded, and the substance that should have carried the day has not yet been recognized much less developed.  None the less, the four dimensional structure by which the substance of Spirit is brought to the human scene, exists.  It was set up for all times to come to be utilized.  Faith may now be raised to understanding, and understanding to rich experiences of reality and harmony.  The name of Mary Baker Eddy shall stand and remain a significant name in the annals of history, regardless of how tired humanity has become of hearing it spoken.  It shall stand as the name of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and many other's shall stand.  Also, the name of Mary Baker Eddy shall forever be associated with Christian Science, a term that she has chosen with which to identify the Science that raises Christianity from its doldrums to life.

As of today, no universal term has been coined that combines what operates in all four dimension, of which Christian Science represents the fundamental plane.  In due course a term may appear out of the power of its operation when it begins to blossom in the lives of humanity: "For Sharon's Rose must bud and bloom in human hearts."*(From Christ and Christmas)  Such a term, when it is coined, will reflect the Science of humanity and its ultimate outcome in human consciousness.  Except for this to happen, both Science and humanity need to be raised to a higher signification than is afforded today.

Indeed, the phrase: "Science of Humanity," or "Science of man," would mean very little today as the image of humanity sinks ever lower, and approaches today the image of a parasite living off the good graces of Mother Earth.  Humanity needs to be reaffirmed as being entirely spiritual, and made in the image of God.  The phrase, or terminology, that comes out of the fourth dimension, will have a meaning only when the image of humanity, and that of its Science, has been raised to the status to which Christ Jesus once raised it, and Mary Baker Eddy after him.

In like manner as Mary Baker Eddy's name shall forever be associated with mankind's scientific approach to the dimensions of spiritual issues, so shall the term Christian Science be forever connected with this effort.  Today, the term is claimed to be owned by the Christian Science Board of Directors in the manner that a trade mark or brand name is owned by a corporation.  And so, being owned, it is narrowly applied to a specific mental technology of metaphysical treatment.  This mental technology is the dimension that is documented in the basic architecture of the structure for the Key of David, as the cardinal point: Christian Science, pertaining to the bottom row of the matrix.  But Mary Baker Eddy also applies the term, Christian Science, to the dimension of Christianity and the Christ.  While the higher dimensions reflect the operation of divine Science and the Christ, she recognizes that the function of divine Science and the Christ is to support the dimension of Christianity on every level of human thought.  In the second and third dimensions, the term Christian Science, when applied, has a totally different meaning, relating universally to mankind as that Science which Christ Jesus has illustrated in parables and sermons, and in demonstrations of healing.  The term, Christian Science, has a generic meaning in these higher dimensions, standing for the universal Science of humanity's approach to truth.  It no longer denotes a specific technology of metaphysical healing.  It was practiced to some degree by Noah and Abraham, Jacob and Moses, and in full measure by Christ Jesus, by Mary Baker Eddy, and in many ways by countless others who to some degree dealt with spiritual issues on a scientific basis.  This underlines the need for Mary Baker Eddy's By-Law in the Church Manual which grants the right to any member without restrictions to organize churches under the title: Church of Christ, Scientist.  The By-Law grants this right without any requirement for official approval.  It grants this right to anyone who subscribes to the tenets of Christian Science which acknowledge Christ Jesus as the originator and Exemplar of man's scientific approach to the divine reality.
