"Ye
are a chosen
generation, a
royal
priesthood, an
holy nation, a
peculiar
people; that ye
should shew
forth the
praises of him
who hath called
you out of
darkness into
his marvellous
light." — I
Peter 2:9.
The
Divine Order of
Christian
Science "This
prophetic child of God
was sent to the 'lost
sheep of the house of
Israel.' Lost, because
they claimed Abraham as
their father and the law
of Moses as their guide,
while they, in their
blind beliefs of life
and manhood in the
flesh, knew not the
faith of Abraham;
neither did they keep
the spiritual law of
Moses."
Christian
Science "Christian
Science teaches that by
pure and holy living we
are to hasten the end of
the world, not the end
of God's creation, but
the end of error,
darkness, evil. All that
is opposed to God, all
that obscures the true
concept of His creation,
will be consumed by the
'fervent heat' of divine
Truth."
Fatherhood
and
Motherhood
"Those unacquainted with
Mrs. Eddy’s
teachings are sometimes
puzzled, if not
disturbed, because of
her distinct teaching
that God should be
regarded not only as
Father but also as
Mother; yet the
Scriptures distinctly
present the quality of
motherhood as an
essential element of the
divine
nature."
Leg
Injury
Healed "There
are probably few people
who have more reason to
be grateful for
Christian Science than I
have."
Healed
After
Fall "Last
summer in cherry time,
two little girls were
playing one afternoon.
As they were climbing
trees, Grace fell from a
high tree to the
ground."
These
informal analyses were
prepared and recorded by
Stanley C. Larkin in
1985. His purpose, as
outlined by Mrs. Eddy in
Pulpit and Press,
p.22, was as follows:
"When the doctrinal
barriers between the
churches are broken, and
the bonds of peace are
cemented by spiritual
understanding and Love,
there will be unity of
spirit, and the healing
power of Christ will
prevail."
The
analyses were prepared
using old cassette
technology, so please
allow for the directions
to start and stop the
tape player. To study
the Bible lesson with
the audio clip, it would
be helpful to have the
printed lesson
available.

"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."

Health, p.

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."
