The
Manner of Truth's
Appearing "Those
who really want 'the
truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the
truth,' do not quarrel
with the how, when, or
whence of its coming,
but accept it with
unquestioning obedience
and with grateful thanks
to God and to His
Messenger."
The
Law of
God "Because
evil is a suppositional
opposite of God, good,
it too claims to be
governed by law, and
every mortal must awaken
to this claim and learn
so to know the presence
and power of the law of
God, good, that he will
instantly reject every
least belief in an
opposite of good, so
that evil shall have no
opportunity to say to
him, 'I am
law.'"
Profoundly
Grateful "One
day SOS calls repeatedly
came to us from a
freighter which had been
torpedoed and was
sinking with eighty-four
men on
board."
Measles
Meningitis
Healed
"Our little girl, aged
seven, became entirely
paralyzed with what the
doctors called measles
meningitis, and although
she was taken to a local
hospital and given the
best care possible, she
was visibly fading
away."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"God
has not forbidden man to
know Him; on the
contrary, the Father
bids man have the same
Mind 'which was also in
Christ Jesus,' —
which was certainly the
divine Mind; but God
does forbid man's
acquaintance with evil.
Why? Because evil is no
part of the divine
knowledge."

"The
more I

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."
