"The
Lord hath
appeared of old
unto me,
saying, Yea, I
have loved thee
with an
everlasting
love: therefore
with
lovingkindness
have I drawn
thee." —
Jeremiah
31:3.
Impartial
Love "Too
long have mortals turned
away from the divine
protection so freely
offered to all who will
avail themselves of it.
They have bowed before
the unreal things of
mortal sense, and in
thought if not in word
have even accused God of
partiality when others
seemed more favored than
themselves."
Illusion "Mortal
existence was not Life
to Jesus' understanding.
In his great love for
humanity and his earnest
desire to teach the real
Life we hear him saying
yearningly, 'And ye will
not come unto me that ye
might have life.'"
Inexhaustible
Love "One
of the greatest
blessings for which the
writer has cause for
deep gratitude to
Christian Science, lies
in the growing
understanding of the
reality and
boundlessness of divine
Love, its power and
availability to help at
all times and in all
places."
Intense
Suffering
Healed
"I was never free from
pain unless asleep or
under an opiate, and at
times the pain was so
excruciating that I
contemplated
suicide."
Influenza
Healed
"I have experienced many
healings in Christian
Science during the past
ten years, but I am
impelled to speak first
of an instantaneous
deliverance from
influenza which came to
me some years ago, at
the time of the
influenza
epidemic."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Divine
Science fulfils the law
and the gospel, wherein
God is infinite Love,
including nothing
unlovely, producing
nothing unlike Himself,
the true nature of Love
intact and eternal.
Divine metaphysics
concedes no origin or
causation apart from
God. It accords all to
God, Spirit, and His
infinite manifestations
of love — man and
the
universe."

Baker Eddy Message for 1906,

_____
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."
