Vainglory--MBE "The
predisposing and
exciting cause of all
defeat and victory under
the sun, rests on this
scientific basis: that
action, in obedience to
God, spiritualizes man's
motives and methods, and
crowns them with
success; while
disobedience to this
divine Principle
materializes human modes
and consciousness, and
defeats
them."
Taking
the Side of
Spirit "Many
a mortal has reached the
limit of his mortal
endurance only to find
divine Love waiting to
show him how to take the
side of Spirit and to
begin to lose his
weakness and his woes in
the newly awakened
spiritual sense of
eternal strength and
living joy."
Today "The
Psalmist writes, 'This
is the day which the
Lord hath made; we will
rejoice and be glad in
it.' Is not this what we
all long to do —
rejoice in each new day
as it is unfolded to
us?"
Transformed "Before
Christian Science found
me I was unhappy and
miserable. My trouble
was not so much physical
as mental, although
heart disease had been
growing worse for
several years, and I
felt my end drawing
nearer from day to
day."
Injuries
Healed
"Through this experience
there has come to me a
wonderful spiritual
uplift from the
realization of the ever
presence of the loving
Father-Mother God and of
the immediate protection
given to each and all of
His
children."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"There
is therefore now no
condemnation to them
which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but
after the Spirit. For
the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus
hath made me free from
the law of sin and
death."

"The

to be
sinless,

as is

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,

reflection, / Safe in Love, reality; / In

eternity." — Mabel A.
