"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.
Immortality "The
long centuries of mortal
belief and experience
all show that the
material body is not
immortal, while
spiritual understanding
declares that it must be
put off, with all the
erroneous beliefs which
it
represents."
The
Ideal
Man "Jesus
demanded an equally
radical and
revolutionary change in
the human point of view
when he said, 'Call no
man your father upon the
earth: for one is your
Father, which is in
heaven.' Is this demand
heeded by professed
Christians today? No!
except by Christian
Scientists, who do see
that man cannot have two
fathers, one spiritual
and one
material."
Individual
Consecration "People
will say oftentimes,
'Why cannot I heal?' Do
we pray enough, love
enough? Do we study
enough those wondrous
guides to consecrated
living, the Bible and
Science and
Health?"
Effects
of an Accident
Healed "She
did not see or hear the
approaching delivery
truck which struck her
on the head, shattering
the glass over the lamps
of the
machine."
Abnormal
Gowth
Healed
"It is over seventeen
years since I first
heard of Christian
Science. At that time I
was a physical wreck.
There was an abnormal
growth on my breast, for
which an operation was
to be performed, but I
was asked to try
Christian Science . .

"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Hear
my cry, O God; attend
unto my prayer. From the
end of the earth will I
cry unto thee, when my
heart is overwhelmed:
lead me to the rock that
is higher than I. For
thou hast been a shelter
for me, and a strong
tower from the enemy. I
will abide in thy
tabernacle for ever: I
will trust in the covert
of thy
wings."

"The

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."

eternity." — Mabel A.
