"Then
the eyes of the blind
shall be opened, and the
ears of the deaf shall
be unstopped. Then shall
the lame man leap as an
hart, and the tongue of
the dumb
sing."
Reconciliation "To
God, who is Life, there
can be no death, and
there is no
inconsistency in the
Scriptures when their
statements are
understood in the light
of Truth, interpreted by
divine Principle."
Spirit's
Plumbline
"Now, it is all very
well for us to
congratulate ourselves
on the possession of
God's exact Science; it
is all very well for us
to talk much of the
letter of this Science,
declaring its statements
with great gusto; it is
all very well to say: In
Science things are thus
and so; but it is quite
another matter to prove
these statements to be
the truth."
Singleness
of
Vision "When
Jesus was journeying for
the last time to
Jerusalem, he saw that
evil was about to nail
him to the cross, but he
saw also the
resurrection."
"That
glorious day of my
healing" How
many times during these
seven years, at some
period of depression and
discouragement, I have
retired to my room in
meditation, recollecting
that glorious day of my
healing; and in thanking
God for Christian
Science I would be
healed
again."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
Mrs.
Eddy writes:
"In this age the earth
will help the
woman."
"Christian
Science is my only
ideal; and the
individual and his ideal
can never be severed. If
either is misunderstood
or maligned, it eclipses
the other with the
shadow cast by this
error." Mis
p. 105
"What
if the old dragon should
send forth a new flood
to drown the
Christ-idea? He can
neither drown your voice
with its roar, nor again
sink the world into the
deep waters of chaos and
old night.
In
this age the earth will
help the woman; the
spiritual idea will be
understood.
Those ready for the
blessing you impart will
give thanks. The waters
will be pacified, and
Christ will command the
wave." S&H
p. 570
"This
immaculate idea,
represented first by man
and, according to the
Revelator, last by
woman, will baptize with
fire; and the fiery
baptism will burn up the
chaff of error with the
fervent heat of Truth
and Love, melting and
purifying even the gold
of human
character." S&H

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."
