Spirit
and
Law "The
law of God is the law of
Spirit, a moral and
spiritual force of
immortal and divine
Mind. The so-called law
of matter is an immoral
force of erring mortal
mind, alias the minds of
mortals."
"The
simplicity that is in
Christ" "When
Paul saw the Christians
of his day in danger of
being turned aside from
the clear and simple
teaching he had given
them, he warned them to
beware, 'lest by any
means, . . . your minds
should be corrupted from
the simplicity that is
in Christ,' to a vain
boastfulness which would
glory in its own
supposed grasp of
spiritual
things."
The
Sleeping and the Waking
Dream "There
are multitudes of
persons, it may be
reliably recorded, who
give grateful evidence
of the changes that have
come into their lives
through Mrs. Eddy's
revelation and their own
perception of the fact
that mortal existence is
but a dream."
A
Remarkable
Recovery
" . . . How great was my
surprise when for the
first time in my life I
heard the tick of my
watch with that ear,
with which I was never
supposed to hear again.
The eardrum is gone, the
hole left by taking out
the ear bone is still
there, but God does not
need these material
conditions to make His
child
perfect."
"Rejoice!" "During
the epidemic that
prevailed a year ago
last winter the writer
found herself entangled
in the meshes of fear,
and its consequent
manifestation in the
home."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Is
God infinite? Yes. Did
God make man? Yes. Did
God make all that was
made? He did. Is God
Spirit? He is. Did
infinite Spirit make
that which is not
spiritual? No. Who or
what made matter? Matter
as substance or
intelligence never was
made. Is mortal man a
creator, is he matter or
spirit? Neither one.
Why? Because Spirit is
God and infinite; hence
there can be no other
creator and no other
creation. Man is but His
image and
likeness."

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."

the seeming fades away, / All the shadows,
all the dreaming, / As we wake to God's
own day — / Wake to man as His
reflection, / Safe in Love, reality; / In
the secret of His presence / We shall find
eternity." — Mabel A.
