"O
bless our God,
ye people, and
make the voice
of his praise
to be heard:
which holdeth
our soul in
life, and
suffereth not
our feet to be
moved." —
Psalms 66:8, 9.
"Be
ye
thankful" "An
elderly woman, whose
room for a season was
under the eaves of an
old tumble down
building, was asked what
she did the night before
in the storm, when it
rained in upon her bed.
With beaming face she
replied, 'Why I thought,
What are a few drops
among so many?' She had
learned the meaning of
the saying, 'Gratitude
is the bright weather of
the heart.'"
Men
and
Nations "No
one need question that
our very existence as a
nation depends upon our
unswerving obedience to
the demands of divine
Principle."
Safety "A
noteworthy incident,
occurring a number of
years ago and related in
part at that time in the
Christian Science
Sentinel, testifies to
the safety which even in
extreme circumstances is
provided by the
application of Christian
Science."
Healing
of Chronic
Ailments "The
sentence of death was
hanging over me, —
'only a question of a
few days,' the doctor
had said."
Appendicitis
Healed
"Having been the wife of
a physician and druggist
for more than twenty
years, I was familiar
with the symptoms of
many diseases. One
morning I awoke quite
early with the most
intense pain, and
immediately realized I
was suffering from
appendicitis."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Not
Soul, but mortal sense,
sins and dies. Immortal
man has immortal Soul
and a deathless sense of
being. Mortal man has
but a false sense of
Soul and body. He
believes that Spirit, or
Soul, exists in matter.
This is pantheism, and
is not the Science of
Soul."

"The
more I

to be

_____
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."

Health, p.

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."
