"God
hath not
appointed us to
wrath, but to
obtain
salvation by
our Lord Jesus
Christ, who
died for us,
that, whether
we wake or
sleep, we
should live
together with
him." — I
Thessalonians
5:9,
10.
The
Father's
Voice "The
material sense of man
and the universe must
give place to the
spiritual, and in view
of this we may well
address to ourselves
Peter's question: 'What
manner of persons ought
ye to be in all holy
conversation and
godliness?'"
The
Voice of
God "Since
God is Mind and Mind is
good, we can only know
God through His good
thoughts; we therefore
hear His voice when we
discern His thoughts."
Value
of the
Lesson-Sermons "Not
content with setting
forth her teaching in
her textbook, our Leader
has protected her
followers from the
inherent instability and
indolence of the human
so-called mind by
instituting the weekly
Lesson-Sermons in the
Christian Science
Quarterly, which have
become for them a part
of their daily study.
Injuries
Healed "It
is a great pleasure to
give this testimony of
the protecting and
healing power of divine
Love, as revealed and
made practicable today
through Christian
Science. In the fall of
1911 I was traveling on
a passenger train,
riding in the car next
[to] the engine,
when our train collided
head-on with a freight
train."
Heart
Filled with
Gratitude
"A
few years ago the top of
my thumb was cut off
through the middle of
the nail and up, not
taking the bone. I
declared the truth at
once, and placed it on
again."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Is
man's spiritual sonship
a personal gift to man,
or is it the reality of
his being, in divine
Science? Man's knowledge
of this grand verity
gives him power to
demonstrate his divine
Principle, which in turn
is requisite in order to
understand his sonship,
or unity with God,
good."

Teaching

"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."
