"It
shall come to
pass, that like
as I have
watched over
them, to pluck
up, and to
break down, and
to throw down,
and to destroy,
and to afflict;
so will I watch
over them to
build, and to
plant, saith
the Lord." —
Jeremiah
31:28.
Annie
M.
Knott--Editorial "It
is admitted by all who
study the textbook of
Christian Science, or
who are healed by its
ministry, that a great
spiritual awakening is
felt, and that it is
manifested in a new
interest in the Bible
and in religion
generally."
Doing
Our
Best "It
is a confession of
half-heartedness, in
seeking the kingdom of
God, that we are so
easily satisfied with
being and doing less
than our
best."
Protection "Reference
is constantly made in
the Scriptures to the
fact that God is near to
all who rely on Him, and
many concrete examples
prove the reward of this
trust . . ."
Broken
Leg
Healed "While
returning from my work
one night, I fell from a
bridge and sustained a
serious injury to my
leg. I was unable to
move from the place
where I had fallen, so I
lay there helpless for
twelve hours, in a
temperature below the
freezing-point."
Blessed
by Turning to
God
"The dark days are
remembered, not with
bitterness, but only
with thanksgiving,
because they forced me
to find God, who, in
place of causing evil,
as I had believed,
blesses His children
when they turn to
Him."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"God,
Spirit, is indeed the
preserver of man. Then,
in the words of the
Hebrew singer, 'Why art
thou cast down, O my
soul? and why art thou
disquieted within me?
hope thou in God: for I
shall yet praise Him,
who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.
. . . Who forgiveth all
thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy
diseases.'"

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."
