Excerpt from Causation: Viewed in the Light of Christian Science

Canon Masterman has committed himself to a definition of the body as the garment of God, whilst Canon Scott Holland, going even further than this, tells us that the incarnation is the announcement that Spirit is the ultimate reality of matter. Matter is the expression, the organ, the body of Spirit. It is a Spiritual Creation, a Spiritual Fact. That is its glory. Spirit pos sesses it; inhabits it; sustains it; fulfils it; trans figures it. In seeing it'you see Spirit. In under standing it, you understand Spirit. In uniting with it, you are united to Spirit. In loving it, you love Spirit. Dr. Johnson himself could not have insisted more determinedly upon the reality Of matter, and Dr. Johnson, as Canon Scott Hol land points out in the very preface in which these words occur, proved the reality of matter by stamping on it. It is incontrovertible, therefore, that if we accept the argument of Canon Scott Holland, Dr. Johnson stamped not merely on matter, but on Spirit, yet Jesus said to the woman of Samaria, God is Spirit.
