with Key to The Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy

Truth, Life, and Love.

anger.
595:5
TARES. Mortality; error; sin; sickness; disease;
death.
595:7
TEMPLE. Body; the idea of Life, substance, and in-
telligence; the superstructure of Truth; the shrine of
Love; a material superstructure, where mortals congre-
gate for worship.
595:11
THUMMIM. Perfection; the eternal demand of divine
Science.
595:13
The Urim and Thummim, which were to be on Aaron's
breast when he went before Jehovah, were holiness and
purification of thought and deed, which alone can fit us
for the office of spiritual teaching.
595:17
TIME. Mortal measurements; limits, in which are
summed up all human acts, thoughts, beliefs, opinions,
knowledge; matter; error; that which begins before,

disappears and spiritual perfection appears.

its spiritual idea.
596:1
UNKNOWN. That which spiritual sense alone compre-
hends, and which is unknown to the material senses.
596:3

great unknowable;" but Christian Science brings God
much nearer to man, and makes Him better known as
the All-in-all, forever near.

therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you."
(Acts xvii. 23.)
596:11
URIM. Light.
596:12
The rabbins believed that the stones in the breast-
plate of the high-priest had supernatural illumination,
but Christian Science reveals Spirit, not matter, as the
illuminator of all. The illuminations of Science give us

the Most High.
