A
Refuge from the
Storm "On
page 83 of Science and
Health Mrs. Eddy says,
'Mortals must find
refuge in Truth in order
to escape the error of
these latter days.' At
the present time no
Christian Scientist
would question this
statement, and happily
for them they know where
the place of refuge is
to be found."
The
Return to
Galilee "Christ
Jesus, when struggling
with the burden of the
world's woe in the
garden of Gethsemane,
told his disciples, who
were soon to desert him,
that after he was risen
again he would go before
them into Galilee."
Apprehending
Spiritual
Ideas "'How
much more should we seek
to apprehend the
spiritual ideas of God,
than to dwell on the
objects of sense! To
discern the rhythm of
Spirit and to be holy,
thought must be purely
spiritual.'"
All
My Troubles Left
Me
"One day we heard of the
healing by Christian
Science of a malignant
growth, and it seemed so
wonderful to me that my
husband took me to see
the one who had been
healed."
Ailments
Healed "The
doctor attending my case
did his best, but the
disease grew worse. Then
a friend, who herself
had been healed through
Christian Science of a
severe kidney trouble
called my attention to
this
teaching."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"Jesus
came to seek and to save
such as believe in the
reality of the unreal;
to save them from
this false
belief; that they
might lay hold of
eternal Life, the great
reality that concerns
man, and understand the
final fact, — that
God is omnipotent and
omnipresent; yea, 'that
the Lord He is God;
there is none else
beside Him,' as the
Scriptures declare.

Teaching
"Divinity

Science
Standard

"The
more I
understand

humanhood,
the

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."
