Warfare,True,and
False
"Readers of the Bible
are apt to overlook the
fact that although the
idea of peace figures
largely therein, a great
deal is also said about
warfare."
True
Equality
"For centuries human
beings have been
struggling for equality.
They have always
believed that there
should be equality of
rights, equality of
opportunity, equality of
privilege, and have been
always crying out
against the injustices
and limitations which
human existence has
seemed to
present."
Truth
the Basis of True
Knowledge "It
is clear to Christian
Scientists that evil
never develops into
good; nor does matter
merge into Spirit. This
Jesus showed by the
parable of the tares and
wheat."
A
True Estimate of Mrs.
Eddy
" When the lecture was
over I joyously rose
from my seat, filled
with vigor and strength.
I left the church in
perfect health, with a
song of thankfulness in
my heart, with a deeper
love for our dear Leader
and her work, and a
greater desire to serve
our great
Cause."
Tuberulosis
Healed "Since
coming into Christian
Science, I can
truthfully say that I am
better morally,
spiritually, physically,
and financially than
ever before, and that
Christian Science was my
only help in bringing
about this change. Is it
any wonder I am grateful
for 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."
