"For
a small moment
have I forsaken
thee; but with
great mercies
will I gather
thee. In a
little wrath I
hid my face
from thee for a
moment; but
with
everlasting
kindness will I
have mercy on
thee, saith the
Lord thy
Redeemer." —
Isaiah 54:7, 8.
"Everlasting
Punishment" "Christ
Jesus said on one
occasion, 'Ye will not
come to me, that ye
might have life,' and
the failure to do so is
followed by suffering
and disappointment until
the lesson is learned
that when we come to God
through the
understanding of His
Christ, there is for us
no longer either sin or
suffering."
Blasphemy--Editor's
Table "To
know whether or not we
are transgressing Good,
we must know what Good
is. It is evident that
we cannot rest the
question of what it is
on mere speculation,
supposition or
hypothesis."
Affirmation
and
Denial "Everyone
knows how unmistakably
real to his dream-sense
of identity both that
identity and the events
of the dream are."
"Awakening
from an awful
dream" "Through
work and worry I began
to decline in health,
and my condition became
worse, until I was a
nervous wreck, and spent
most of my time in
bed."
Addiction
Overcome "Eventually
a doctor prescribed a
solution containing a
considerable percentage
of cocaine as a means of
affording temporary
relief, which I was told
to use only on occasions
of great
distress."

Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas

"Commit
thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and
he shall bring it to
pass. And he shall bring
forth thy righteousness
as the light, and thy
judgment as the
noonday."

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."
