All
Things
New "It
is surely glorious,
beyond the possibility
of words to tell, that
each one has the
opportunity and
privilege of
demonstrating
continually, with ever
increasing ability and
power, this newness of
life in Christ, which
shall show forth the
'new man,' which Paul
tells us is 'renewed in
knowledge after the
image of him that
created
him.'"
Christian
Science: The Religion of
the
Bible
" . . . We boldly
proclaim that there is
very plain, very
specific, and very
abundant Scriptural
authority for all that
Christian Science
claims, and especially
for what it claims with
reference to the
possibility of healing
sickness and disease
through the direct
agency and power of
Almighty
God."
The
Right and Wrong Concept
of

as we overcome evil and
matter, and partake of
the spirit of Christ."
Appendicitis
Healed
"Having been the wife of
a physician and druggist
for more than twenty
years, I was familiar
with the symptoms of
many diseases. One
morning I awoke quite
early with the most
intense pain, and
immediately realized I
was suffering from
appendicitis."

Unity"

What
Our Leader
Says
MARY
BAKER EDDY
"Beloved
Christian Scientists,
keep your minds so
filled with Truth and
Love, that sin, disease,
and death cannot enter
them. It is plain that
nothing can be added to
the mind already full.
There is no door through
which evil can enter,
and no space for evil to
fill in a mind filled
with goodness. Good
thoughts are an
impervious armor; clad
therewith you are
completely shielded from
the attacks of error of
every sort. And not only
yourselves are safe, but
all whom your thoughts
rest upon are thereby
benefited.
"
The self-seeking pride
of the evil thinker
injures him when he
would harm others.
Goodness involuntarily
resists evil. The evil
thinker is the proud
talker and doer. The
right thinker abides
under the shadow of the
Almighty. His thoughts
can only reflect peace,
good will towards men,
health, and
holiness."

The
following
Standard
is an exegesis
of the first
four plates in
Christ and
Christmas,
Mary Baker
Eddy's
undeniable
confession of
herself as the
second
appearing in
the flesh of
the Christ,
presented in
Scriptural
texts,
illustrations,
and verses.
"Christ and
Christmas
was an
inspiration
from beginning
to end. The
power of God
and the wisdom
of God was even
more manifest
in it and
guided me more
perceptibly, as
those of my
household can
attest, than
when I wrote
Science and
Health."
(Johnson,
History of
the Christian
Science
Movement,
v.2,
p.448)
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."
