"The
works of the
Lord are great,
sought out of
all them that
have pleasure
therein. They
stand fast for
ever and ever,
and are done in
truth and
uprightness." —
Psalms
111:2,
8.
The
Even
Balance "The
even balance
figuratively implies
that spiritual equipoise
which keeps the
individual as it were in
the middle of the scales
of understanding and
demonstration . . ."
Causation
Spiritual "Creation
is spiritual, and there
is none other. There is
no other reality,
nothing outside of nor
in addition to this
complete and perfect
universe. It is God's
work, which stands
forever, to which
nothing can be added and
from which nothing can
be taken away.
Completeness and
perfection prevail in
the universe of
Spirit."
Being
Honest with
God
" Because that which we
call God cannot be seen
with the eye or touched
with the hand, and is in
no way materially
recognizable, mankind as
a rule have come to
think of Him as
altogether without the
range of earthly
experience. For this
reason He does not seem
to them to be as real
and appreciable as their
fellow men with whom
they associate . . ."
Doctor
Grateful for Christian
Science "The
grateful and reverential
thought of the hour, on
this beautiful day of
national thanksgiving,
impels the recall from
memory's pages of the
experiences of years
gone by."
Ever
Present
Love "
. . . Love is the
constant companion of
every idea and is
forever maintaining each
idea in its proper
course and in its right
activity."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas

Teaching
"Divinity
Embracing

"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."

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.
