The
Light That
Heals
"If a Christian
Scientist were asked
what it is that heals
the sick in Christian
Science, he would
unhesitatingly answer
that it is spiritual
illumination, and for
this response there is
abundant Scriptural
authority."
"Lest
we
forget." ".

protect their own
thoughts that they are
not unwittingly made to
deprive their Leader of
her rightful place as
the Revelator to this
age of the immortal
truths testified to by
Jesus and the
prophets."

"I wish to add my
testimony to those of
others, and hope that it
may be the means of
bringing some poor
sufferer to health, to
happiness, and to God. I
was healed through
simply reading this
wonderful book, Science
and Health."
Christian
Science is Bringing
Heaven to
Earth
"About seven years ago
Mr. Lent wrote a book
entitled 'Being Done
Good,' and included in
it a chapter in which he
ridiculed Christian
Science. Since that time
he, like many others,
has found that he was
mistaken in his estimate
of the value of this
teaching, and it is his
intention, we are
informed, to insert in
the remainder of the
present edition of his
book the following
explanation and
correction."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Rest
assured that the good
you do unto others you
do to yourselves as
well, and the wrong you
may commit must, will,
rebound upon you. The
entire purpose of true
education is to make one
not only know the truth
but live it — to
make one enjoy doing
right, make one not work
in the sunshine and run
away in the storm, but
work midst clouds of
wrong, injustice, envy,
hate; and wait on God,
the strong deliverer,
who will reward
righteousness and punish
iniquity. 'As thy days,
so shall thy strength
be.'"

Teaching
"Divinity
Embracing
Humanity"

Science
Standard
Vol. 14, No.

"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."

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.
