Consecration
and
Protection "In
the Old Testament the
ninety-first psalm
stands out with great
distinctness; and as we
read it, we almost
wonder at the marvelous
understanding of
spiritual law disclosed
in all its
statements."
God's
Man
"When Jesus sent out his
twelve disciples 'to
heal all manner of
sickness and all manner
of disease,' he
commanded them to
declare the kingdom of
heaven at hand, and
among the instructions
he gave was this: 'I
send you forth as sheep
in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as
serpents, and harmless
as doves.'"
Errors
of
Temperament "The
understanding gained
from Christian Science,
that the evils commonly
associated with the
human temperament, such
as anger, jealousy,
resentment, hate, etc.,
were never created by
God, and have no place
in the true idea of man,
includes the ability to
resist their asserted
control, and eventually
erase them from
consciousness."
Clear
Vision
Restored "I
have had many beautiful
proofs of God's presence
and power, one being the
laying aside of glasses,
which I had worn since a
child of
seven."
Health,
Peace, and Happiness
Found "Four
years ago I first heard
of Christian Science.
This was in a grocery
store where one lady
said to another, 'The
lady on the opposite
side of the street heals
by Christian
Science.'"

WHAT
OUR LEADER
SAYS
Mrs.
Eddy's
Reply
"You
can never demonstrate
spirituality until you
declare yourself to be
immortal and understand
that you are so.
Christian Science is
absolute; it is neither
behind the point of
perfection nor advancing
towards it; it is at
this point and must be
practised therefrom.
Unless you fully
perceive that you are
the child of God, hence
perfect, you have no
Principle to demonstrate
and no rule for its
demonstration. By this I
do not mean that mortals
are the children of God,
— far from it. In
practising Christian
Science you must state
its Principle correctly,
or you forfeit your
ability to demonstrate
it." —

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."

eternity." — Mabel A.
