"God
so loved the
world, that he
gave his only
begotten Son,
that whosoever
believeth in
him should not
perish, but
have
everlasting
life." —
John
3:16.
Christ
Jesus
Glorified "The
so-called liberal
thought in religion
conceded to Jesus the
place of a great moral
teacher, but this was
far from being his own
estimate of himself."
The
Theology of
Jesus "The
theology of Jesus makes
tremendous demands upon
Christian Scientists. We
who profess to
understand and
demonstrate Jesus'
teaching with the 'signs
following' can never for
an instant forget that
it is his theology that
heals the sick and
sinning!"
"Come
and
dine" "In
the twenty-first chapter
of John's gospel is the
story of the appearance
of Jesus to some of his
disciples after his
resurrection, a story
which is radiant with
the glory of spiritual
understanding."
"Glorious
liberty"
"When I first heard of
Christian Science I had
been a confirmed
drunkard and smoker for
nearly twenty years; and
incredible as it may
seem, I had not been
sober for two years. I
had often tried to
conquer the craving for
strong drink, but had
failed utterly, and had
become such a slave to
it that I almost lived
on it, taking very
little else."
Fainting
Spells
Healed
"It is now nearly seven
years since Christian
Science was first
brought to my notice. Up
to that time, I was
almost continually under
a physician's care,
scarcely knowing a well
day."

"The

to be

as is
the

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."
