"I
have manifested
thy name unto
the men which
thou gavest me
out of the
world: thine
they were, and
thou gavest
them me; and
they have kept
thy word. That
they all may be
one; as thou,
Father, art in
me, and I in
thee, that they
also may be one
in us." —
John 17:6,
21.
"Remember
now thy
Creator" "To
heal the sick as Jesus
did we must pierce
through the veil of
belief in matter. At
every point we must
grasp and hold the
spiritual fact of God
and His idea, which is
clothed with
immortality. Then we
shall know what is meant
by man's going 'to his
long home.'"
An
Unswerving
Purpose "God
is always at hand
supplying not only the
perfect purpose but the
understanding to
maintain it
unswervingly."
Universal
Availability of
Good "A
great necessity, then,
is to recognize the
incorporeality of God,
in order that we may
understand His universal
availability. Christian
Science is, in this age,
the window through which
this fact may be
discerned. . .
"
"Absent
from the body...present
with the
Lord"
"I came to Christian
Science, as thousands of
others, in search of
health. A member of my
family had been
wonderfully benefited by
its teaching; and, after
a noted specialist in
New York had pronounced
my case beyond the reach
of material means, I
turned in my despair to
God."

top of the gas stove, I
lighted the oven and
left it for a few
minutes. When I opened
the oven door there was
a loud explosion, and I
was bathed in
flame."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"There
was never a moment in
which evil was real.
This great fact
concerning all error
brings with it another
and more glorious truth,
that good is supreme. As
there is none beside
Him, and He is all good,
there can be no evil.
Simply uttering this
great thought is not
enough! We must live it,
until God becomes the
All and Only of our
being."

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."
