Taking
the Long Look at
Life "We
can find harmony or
heaven only by living
love and cultivating the
graces of Spirit.
Happiness can come to us
only as our
understanding of Life is
improved."
The
Divine
Likeness--Editorial by
Annie M.
Knott "The
belief that the human
body is the divine
likeness receives a
strong rebuke in that
wonderful passage in the
eighth chapter of Romans
where Paul says that
Christ Jesus came 'in
the likeness of sinful
flesh,' a statement
which nullifies the
argument that Christ
Jesus as seen by mortals
was the likeness of
God."
Children "The
care of young children
should always be
approached from the
standpoint that it is a
holy work."
Healing
of a
Burn "My
daughter's little boy,
thirteen months old, in
passing along before the
open grate, fell with
one hand right into the
fire."
Grateful
for
Healing
"Having been healed by
mental surgery, I wish
to give my experience,
believing that it will
help those who still
cling to the belief that
human hands are
necessary to adjust
displaced organs and
dislocated
vertebrae."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"God
never punishes man for
doing right, for honest
labor, or for deeds of
kindness, though they
expose him to fatigue,
cold, heat, contagion.
If man seems to incur
the penalty through
matter, this is but a
belief of mortal mind,
not an enactment of
wisdom, and man has only
to enter his protest
against this belief in
order to annul it."

"The
more I

see it
to be
sinless,

ignorant

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."
