fed. We shall also find

all the lesser needs
will one by one be
supplied."

is certainly a God-given

conduct, together with

always that which is
right."
From
Darkness to
Light
"Sixteen years have
passed since I caught
the first gleam of the
light of Christian
Science, at the
brightness of whose
coming "chaos and old
night" fade into
nothingness. The Bible
and the textbook of
Christian Science
contain the recipes for
Christian healing,
— the rules to show
us how to demonstrate
infinite Principle and
its divine
laws.
Healing
of
Cramps
"I shall never forget
the day when, on
returning home, I found
my wife entirely healed
through Christian
Science. She seemed to
be slowly slipping away.
For years she had been
unable to eat meat,
vegetables, or fruit,
because she suffered
from cramps at night.
Finally she could eat
nothing but a few
spoonfuls of some
prepared food.

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."
