"I
have manifested
thy name unto
the men which
thou gavest me
out of the
world: thine
they were, and
thou gavest
them me; and
they have kept
thy word. That
they all may be
one; as thou,
Father, art in
me, and I in
thee, that they
also may be one
in us." —
John 17:6,
21.
To
the Christian
World--MBE "In
the midst of the
imperfect, perfection is
reluctantly seen and
acknowledged. Because
Science is
unimpeachable, it
summons the severest
conflicts of the ages
and waits on
God."
Remedies "In
justification of their
rejection of all
material remedies,
Christian Scientists
maintain that, since
these remedies have no
moral or spiritual
quality, they cannot
supply the needs of a
moral and spiritual
being."
Supply "A
student was once at the
point of having her
little all of material
property swept away. The
most of one night she
spent in prayer over it.
Sleep fled; while a
strong desire to keep
the property, and a
great fear of losing it,
struggled with the
arguments of Spirit's
allness."
Sickness
Healed
A few months ago my
little girl was taken
with a very heavy cold
and distress through the
body. I called for help
about noon, and the
condition continued to
be the same until about
eleven o'clock that
night, when she was
apparently very much
worse."
Severe
Injuries
Healed
"I realize that it was
only by a 'closer walk
with God' that Mrs. Eddy
was able to bring to
darkened, suffering
humanity this wonderful
spiritual and physical
healing — the
Christ-cure with its
benign influence which
is ever ready waiting
for 'whosoever
will.'"
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"In
proportion as mortals
approximate the
understanding of
Christian Science, they
take hold of harmony,
and material incumbrance
disappears. Having one
God, one Mind, one
consciousness, —
which includes only His
own nature, — and
loving your neighbor as
yourself, constitute
Christian Science, which
must demonstrate the
nothingness of any other
state or stage of
being."

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."
