"Since
the beginning
of the world
men have not
heard, nor
perceived by
the ear,
neither hath
the eye seen, O
God, beside
thee, what he
hath prepared
for him that
waiteth for
him." —
Isaiah 64:4.
Prayers
for
Prosperity "One
thing is certain, that
neither nations nor
individuals can prosper
in any true sense, or
for any length of time,
unless they are obedient
to the law of Truth and
Love: and the sooner we
find this out the better
for us as individuals in
the working out of our
daily
problems."
"Physician,
heal
thyself" "Occasionally
students of Christian
Science are called upon
for treatment before
they have themselves
received complete
healing."
Spiritual
Power ".
. . In the nineteenth
century comes Christian
Science to reveal the
Truth to those who are
willing to see it, who
are willing to accept
it, who are willing to
live it, who are willing
to be made 'new
creatures,' who are
willing to become 'Sons
of God,' who are willing
to 'walk, not after the
flesh, but after the
Spirit.'"
Power
of Truth Over
Error "My
son was presented with
an alcohol engine on his
sixteenth birthday and
while testing the power
of it, it exploded,
covering his face with
the burning fluid, the
wick adhering to one
cheek burning a hole in
it; his sister, a year
younger heard the
explosion and rushed to
him, then called to me
to come at once that her
brother was on
fire."
Pain
and Paralysis
Overcome
"
The words from
Scripture, 'The word of
God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged
sword,' were proved to
me when, a short while
ago, I received a very
great physical
healing."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"In
proportion as mortals
turn from this mortal
and material dream, to
the true sense of
reality, everlasting
Life will be found to be
the only Life."

"The
more I
understand
true
humanhood,
the
more I
see it
to be
sinless,
-- as
ignorant
of sin
as is
the
perfect
Maker."

The
teaching of
"divinity
embracing
humanity" is
essential to
our salvation,
our
transfiguration,
in the endtime.
A
misunderstanding
of Mary Baker
Eddy's teaching
on this subject
impedes and
retards
individual and
collective
spiritual
growth. It
would prevent
Christian
Scientists from
understanding
and
demonstrating
the human and
divine
coincidence
which is the
way of escape
from the
material sense
of things.
In
Volume 4 we
read,
"How do drugs
and hygiene and
animal
magnetism heal?
They don't
heal. It is
only the faith
in them which
brings about a
result
which
they call healing. In
reality they only
exchange a belief in
disease for another
belief called health.
Materia medica
classifies health as the
absence of disease from
the body. Mrs. Eddy
tells us that 'Health is
the consciousness of the
unreality of pain and
disease; or, rather, the
absolute consciousness
of harmony and of
nothing else.' (Rud.
11:13-15)"
"In
this age the
earth will help
the woman; the
spiritual idea
will be
understood."

The
very real, but
unrecognized questions
agitating the world in
this endtime are not
those issues and events
reported in the press.
Rather, they are those
questions relating to
the second coming of
Christ and the place of
Mrs. Eddy in Scriptural
prophecy.
"Health
is not a condition of
matter, but of Mind; nor
can the material senses
bear reliable testimony
on the subject of
health. The Science of
Mind-healing shows it to
be impossible for aught
but Mind to testify
truly or to exhibit the
real status of man.
Therefore the divine
Principle of Science,
reversing the testimony
of the physical senses,
reveals man as
harmoniously existent in
Truth, which is the only
basis of health; and
thus Science denies all
disease, heals the sick,
overthrows false
evidence, and refutes
materialistic
logic."
— Mary Baker
Eddy
"Whatever
may be the prevailing
opinion as to the tenets
of her faith and its
lasting benefit to the
great cause of
religion,
none
can deny that Mrs. Eddy was a
remarkable personality, one of
the great characters which stand
out in bold relief in the history
of the nineteenth century in
spiritual affairs."
