Thanksgiving "The
true Thanksgiving then
comes to those who can
thank God for every
opportunity to prove His
presence and allness in
spite of any and all the
suppositional arguments
which material sense may
claim to
present."
Ways
that are
Vain-MBE "The
natural fruits of
Christian Science
Mind-healing are
harmony, brotherly love,
spiritual growth and
activity. The malicious
aim of perverted
mind-power, or animal
magnetism, is to
paralyze good and give
activity to evil. It
starts factions and
engenders envy and
hatred, but as activity
is by no means a right
of evil and its
emissaries, they ought
not to be encouraged in
it."
Moral
Victory "Although
Christ Jesus
demonstrated the
unreality of matter time
and again . . . still it
is quite certain that
the metaphysical meaning
of his works has not
been generally
understood."
Astigmatism
Healed "As
soon as I began to read
the book, I felt that in
some way I was being
helped and spiritually
uplifted."
Protection
Demonstrated "A
liner crossing the
Atlantic ran into a fog
one evening. One of the
passengers, a student of
Christian Science, ill
at ease over what was a
familiar enough
experience, retired
early to his cabin to
study those parts of the
Bible, and of 'Science
and Health with Key to
the Scriptures' by Mary
Baker Eddy, which
elucidate the question
of 'mist.'"
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"It
is a good thing to give
thanks unto the Lord,
and to sing praises unto
thy name, O most High:
To shew forth thy
lovingkindness in the
morning, and thy
faithfulness every
night, Upon an
instrument of ten
strings, and upon the
psaltery; upon the harp
with a solemn sound. For
thou, Lord, hast made me
glad through thy work: I
will triumph in the
works of thy
hands."

Baker
Eddy's
Teaching
"Divinity
Embracing
Humanity"
The
Christian
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."

. . In the secret of His presence / All
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.
