Malicious
Falsehoods
"The authorship of the letters
written to the postmaster at
Concord, N. H., and to other
persons, is also known. Unless
these reprehensible methods cease
we shall have somewhat more to
say upon this
subject."
Judge Septimus J. Hanna,
1898
|
-
|
Man
Inseparable from
God
"Christian Science teaches that
God is Mind, and man the
reflection of divine Mind;
therefore all that is real about
anyone is the good he manifests.
This understanding brings
unspeakable comfort and assurance
of safety at all times, but
especially in time of trouble . .
." Minnie Gardner,
1920

|
Man
is
Spiritual
"It is argued by some who admit
the great blessings which have
come to mankind through Mrs.
Eddy's discovery of the Science
of Christianity, that there is no
need to go the length of denying
materiality altogether, that it
is surely enough to admit that
matter is subordinate to Spirit;
and they contend that this
position has the support of a
well-nigh universal human
opinion." Annie M. Knott,
1905

The
Manner of Truth's
Appearing
"Those
who really want 'the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth,' do not quarrel with the
how, when, or whence of its
coming, but accept it with
unquestioning obedience and with
grateful thanks to God and to His
Messenger."
Katherine White, 1907

|
Man's
Spiritual
Individuality
"The emergence out of material
into spiritual selfhood is a path
not strewn with rose petals; it
is an advance opposed at every
point by all the contending
emotions and passions of material
sense." The Christian Science
Monitor, 1919
|
-
|
"Many
waters"
"The human mind does not take
kindly to the idea of loving
according to law. It wishes to
love as it pleases; and it is
because it insists upon loving as
it is moved by impulse and
caprice, that its sense of love
must always run dry and its
gardens of delight turn to wastes
and desolation." The Christian
Science Monitor,
1919
|
-
|
"Martyrs"
"To be a martyr today should mean
to be a witness to Truth, so
protected by the understanding of
the supremacy of Truth that all
the shafts of envy, hate, and
ignorance will fall powerless at
his feet." Annie M. Knott,
1912
|
-
|
The
Master's
Program
"Now no professed Christian would
deny that God could heal the sick
if He chose, and that Jesus did
heal all manner of sickness, and
even raised the dead, but they
halt before his demand that his
followers shall do the same."
Annie M. Knott, 1916
|
-
|
Mastery
". . . It is well to ponder
Paul's words to the Corinthians,
his conclusion being reached from
watching those engaged in the
Roman games. He says, 'Every man
that striveth for the mastery is
temperate in all things.'" Annie
M. Knott, 1919
|
-
|
Men
and
Nations
"No one need question that our
very existence as a nation
depends upon our unswerving
obedience to the demands of
divine Principle." Annie M.
Knott, 1917
|
-
|
The
Messiah
"In many of the large cities in
the United States the well-known
oratorio called 'The Messiah' is
given each year about Christmas
time." Annie M. Knott,
1919
|
-
|
Ministering
Angels
"If by dwelling on perplexing
problems thought has become
darkened or confused, one can
nevertheless, without delay,
catch in silent prayer the true
tone of Christian Science and
'arise up quickly,' as the angel
commanded Peter to do." Peter B.
Biggins, 1928
|
-
|
Moral
Victory
"Although Christ Jesus
demonstrated the unreality of
matter time and again . . . still
it is quite certain that the
metaphysical meaning of his works
has not been generally
understood." The Christian
Science Monitor,
1919
|
-
|
Moses
"That they who had been slaves in
the land of material sense should
learn freedom through obedience
to spiritual law was his divine
mission." Ethel Munro Goss,
1917
|
-
|
The
Mount
"There is a peculiar significance
attached to the word 'Mount,' or
'Mountain,' as used in the
Scriptures. The Mosaic Decalogue
was given from Mount Sinai;
Elijah talked with God from Mount
Horeb; the transfiguration scene
occurred on the Mount; the
beatitudes were delivered from
Mount Olivet; the mighty tragedy
of the crucifixion was enacted on
Mount Calvary." Judge Hanna,
1891
|
-
|
Mountain
Climbing
"Strangely enough, mortals
complain of the process by which
the heights of Truth are gained."
Annie M. Knott, 1914
|
-
|
Murmurings
Stilled
"Mrs. Eddy leads thought away
from materiality when she says in
Science and Health (p. 369), 'It
is error to murmur or to be angry
over sin.'" Annie M. Knott,
1916
|
-
|
Nature
"In Christian Science we no
longer think of the returning
seasons from a material
standpoint, but instead, we learn
to measure the unfoldment of our
spiritual capacities by our power
to gain from every aspect of
nature higher and more helpful
lessons." Annie M. Knott,
1905
|
-
|
Nearer
"The things of earth will seem
smaller and smaller as we ascend
toward the heights of Spirit, and
the attraction of materiality
will lessen at every step of the
way, so that it will cease to
influence us either through fear
of it or love of it." Annie M.
Knott, 1912
|
-
|
Need
of the
Spirit
"We must find the open door to
the very heart of divine Love
before we can accomplish
instantaneous healing. We must
possess not only the letter but
the spirit as well, before we can
reach this great desideratum."
Alexander Warendorff,
1925
|
-
|
The
Need of
Understanding
"The difficulty with mankind is,
that through acceptance of
material sense testimony as real,
they are ignorant of their
God-given dominion, and
consequently cannot manifest it."
Albert H. Hardcastle,
1920
|
-
|
Newness
of
Life
"In Christian Science it is
absolutely essential to
individual progress that we live
in the resurrection thought, and
our Communion brings it before us
each year with a more intense
significance." Annie M. Knott,
1903
|
-
|
Newness
of Life in
Christ
". . . Whatever may have been the
mistakes and regrets of the past,
whatever may have been the
lessons learned through toil and
triumph, each new year,
each new day, here and now, is
the glad opportunity for an ever
renewed unfolding of good, for a
constantly fresh and hopeful
effort to 'put on the new man,
which after God is created in
righteousness and true
holiness.'" Ella W. Hoag,
1920
|
-
|
The
New
Year
"The great Teacher made it very
clear that a sifting-time must
come before the final and
complete establishment of God's
kingdom on earth, and it is
surely upon us even now." Annie
M. Knott, 1909
|
-
|
A
Notable
Prophecy
"'Tell your children to tell
their children that in the year
1866 something notable will
happen in the church.'" Frederick
Root, 1910
|
-
|
"Now
is the accepted
time."
"One who lived in Mrs. Eddy's
household wrote of her, 'She
never allowed her day to dawn
darkened with the clouds of
yesterday, but with forward gaze
she pressed toward the mark'
(Journal, May, 1911, p. 74
)." M. Ethel Whitcomb,
1912
|
-
|
Obligation
and
Responsibility
"Christian Science is the
religion of Life; therefore, the
Christian Scientist should be
active and energetic. It is the
religion of Truth; therefore, the
Christian Scientist should
express veracity, integrity,
character. It is the religion of
Love; therefore, the Christian
Scientist should be considerate,
kindly, forgiving." John J.
Flinn, 1928
|
-
|
"Occupy"
"The
Greek word in this parable
translated 'occupy' means 'to do
business,' to do the will
of God." Hugh Stuart Campbell,
1920
|
-
|
The
Oil of
Gladness
"To lift the sense of heaviness
we need to read the Psalms.
Greatly did the Psalmist rejoice
in an overwhelming sense both of
God's goodness and of His
infinite presence." Albert F.
Gilmore, 1926
|
-
|
Omnipotence
"Let us not be awed by the
seeming magnitude of threatened
danger. Remember David! From a
purely material standpoint he had
little prospect of overcoming so
ponderous a giant as Goliath. Yet
how complete was his victory!"
Albert F. Gilmore,
1926
|
-
|
Omnipresence
"The writer has had to prove for
herself the wonderful truths
contained in the thought of God's
omnipresence." Kate Hall,
1918
|
-
|
One
Holy
Purpose
"Nothing can truly prosper which
is not in and of the infinitude
of God, good. Then to find a
right purpose we must certainly
look to God for it, since He is
the one and only originator of
all good." Ella W. Hoag,
1924
|
-
|
One
Method of Christian
Science
"The Christian Science which God
has given to the world through
its Discoverer and Founder, Mary
Baker Eddy, is the one and only
Science of healing. God is its
Principle; and its rules and laws
are those which He Himself has
furnished and established." Ella
W. Hoag, 1922
|
-
|
"One
on God's side . .
."
"At the crucial hour of Jesus'
earthly career John alone of all
the disciples stood by the cross
to witness what seemed the
failure of the most heroic
attempt to uplift humanity that
the world had ever witnessed, but
later John saw in spiritual
vision a multitude which no man
could number, 'of all nations,
and kindreds, and people, and
tongues,' those who had seen the
Christ-idea and had followed it
to the final and inevitable
triumph of Truth over sin,
disease, and death." Annie M.
Knott, 1908
|
-
|
The
One
Way
"Two ways appear to present
themselves to men in the walk
through life. There is the
straight and narrow way of divine
Principle, demanding obedience to
right, and there is the so-called
broad and easy one wherein it is
believed one may walk with
comfort and pleasure, without
care and without concern." Ella
W. Hoag, 1920
|
-
|
On
Guard Against
Error
"The error which ought surely to
be guarded against is the
mistaken notion that the chief
care of Christian Science is for
the human body, while the
regeneration of mankind is of
only secondary importance."
Robert H. Teeple, 1918
|
-
|
Onward
and
Upward
"The cause of Christian Science
is firmly established, thanks to
Mrs. Eddy's reflection of divine
wisdom and her unceasing toil. To
us is now committed the glorious
task of seeing to it that no
smallest portion of our spiritual
heritage shall be lost to
posterity, because of any lack of
appreciation or energy on our
part." Annie M. Knott,
1910
|
-
|
The
Open
Door
"The average follower of
religious theories will tell you
he wants the truth, but when he
is put to the test and his idols
human beliefs are
in danger of being shattered, he
does not like it, and ofttimes
bitterly resents the light of
Truth." Tesora F. Sloan,
1920
|
-
|
Opinion
versus
Demonstration
"There are few students of
religious history who would deny
that the introduction of 'mere
opinion' was responsible for the
divisions which came at an early
date into the Christian church,
and that as dogmas multiplied
demonstrations of Truth's power
decreased." Annie M. Knott,
1912
|
-
|
Opposites
"It is very generally admitted by
thinking people that Spirit and
the flesh are opposites, and that
they are exclusive the one of the
other." Annie M. Knott,
1918
|
-
|
Opposition
Conquered
"The tendency to oppose any new
idea is one of the most striking
peculiarities or vagaries of the
human mind. It is almost always
observed whenever any new line of
thought or effort is presented,
or when some work is to be done
which is not strictly in
accordance with the established
order." M. G. Kains,
1914
|
-
|
Other
Cheek,
The
"Awaking from sleep one morning a
little boy said to his mother,
'Why were you so mean to me in my
dream? You were simply horrid.'
'Why, darling,' she replied,
'that was only a dream. I have
been resting quietly by you all
night.'" Maud Drewry,
1920
|
-
|
Overcoming
Evil With
Good
"It was Christ Jesus who first
taught men that all evil must and
can be overcome by good; and
after that teaching little by
little had been seemingly lost as
the ages passed, it was restored
to mankind through the revelation
to Mary Baker Eddy of Christian
Science." Helen Ward Banks,
1928
|
-
|
"Our
Father-Mother
God"
"One Sunday morning last spring,
while the juvenile Sunday school
class was assembled in our little
circle, the thought was expressed
that it was 'Mother's Day.'"
Annie Jones Atkin,
1919
|
-
|
Our
Present Sense of
Good
"It is our first duty to
recognize the good in our present
environment, and earnestly to
apply our understanding of the
Principle of good to the
eradication of those aspects in
our position which do not reflect
good." Louis J. duBois,
1922
|
-
|
Our
Rightful Work and Its
Supply
"Divine Love always has supplied
and always will supply each one
with his or her right work, right
place, right and just reward.
This can be lovingly accepted
without fear of trespassing upon
the rights or opportunities of
others, because there is enough
and to spare for all in the
infinitude of good." Katherine
English, 1923
|
-
|
Our
Supply
"What causes our distress in any
direction? We may say it is lack
of health, of strength, of
material possessions, or lack of
happiness; but when it is all
summed up, we find that all our
dis-ease is caused by ignorance
of God and of His laws
lack of understanding."
Marguerite Dyer Priesmeyer,
1918
|
-
|
Out
of
Tribulation
"It is with this clarified vision
of the salutary influence of
tribulation that we can, with
increased understanding, take the
admonition that 'we must through
much tribulation enter into the
kingdom of God,' and realize that
it is not an unwelcome threat,
carrying with it necessary
suffering and sorrow, but one
that brings a loving promise."
Paul O. Nafe, 1923
|
-
|
Overcoming
"One reason for the human
acceptance of sin, disease, and
death, instead of its denial and
overcoming, is this, that the
human mind has been taught to be
reconciled to them because sent
from God; yet Jesus would surely
not have healed the sick and
raised the dead, if sin and death
had been part of the Father's
plan." Sue Harper Mims,
1912
|
-
|
Overcoming
Doubt and
Fear
"The Master did not lead his
followers to think that there
would be no struggles on the way
to victory; he said, 'In the
world ye have tribulation' (R.
V.); but he added, 'Be of good
cheer; I have overcome the
world.'" Annie M. Knott,
1905
|
-
|
Overcoming
Sympathetic
Mesmerism
"Not by knowing error
sorrow, sickness, misery
can one comfort and heal it;
rather is aid given by knowing
its nothingness, its utter
unreality, for God knows of man
only his perfection; and nothing
is true of man which God does not
know about him." Albert F.
Gilmore, 1924
|
-
|
Pardon
Through
Reform
"Although we may benefit by the
love another reflects, the steps
must be taken by each, for
spiritual progress, which reveals
mans relationship with God,
is invariably an individual
experience. Pardon is not won
vicariously." Albert F. Gilmore,
1927
|
-
|
Patience
"Paul urges all men to run with
patience the race that is set
before them, having proved in his
own living that patience alone is
sufficient to the winning of the
goal of spirituality." Ella W.
Hoag, 1922
|
-
|
Patient
Persistence
"Mortals desire immediate
results, forgetting that 'first
the blade, then the ear, after
that the full corn in the ear,'
is the order of unfoldment which
our Master described in the
parable of the sowing." Albert F.
Gilmore, 1928
|
-
|
"Pay
thy
debt"
"Our debt to divine Love is very
great, but we can help to pay it
by loving one another, and this
can often be done by setting an
example of true and noble living
to those who may not yet see
clearly the demands of divine
Principle." Annie M. Knott,
1914
|
-
|
Peace
"All discords of mind or body
result from consciously or
unconsciously giving power to
evil or error the supposed
opposite of Good. When we realize
that man is God's reflection,
then the deflections of mortal
mind do not affect us; hence this
peace that passeth
understanding." Anna C. Wyeth,
1899
|
-
|
Perception
and
Impression
"It was through the agency of
spiritual perception that Jesus
the Wayshower was able to keep
himself separate from and
uninfluenced by the
sense-evidence of the material
world." Nellie B. Mace,
1917
|
-
|
"Perfect
Models"
"Strictly speaking, we can have
but one model, God's perfect
idea, with countless reflections,
all governed by the one divine
Principle. This does not,
however, authorize us to say that
there is only one eye, ear, or
foot, for when we begin to talk
of these we are getting away from
the perfect, spiritual model."
Annie M. Knott, 1914
|
-
|
Perfection
and
Reality
"In Christian Science perfection
and reality are synonymous
terms." Annie M. Knott,
1915
|
-
|
The
Perfect Will of
God
"When Christian Science brought
to light this insistent and
joyous demand of God's
all-inclusive will, the claim of
wills many, or the belief of mind
in matter, was uncovered as never
before in human history, in order
that its utter falsity and
powerlessness might be proved."
Ella W. Hoag, 1922
|
-
|
Performance
"Many earnest men and women have
glimpsed the truth that
performance is required of
everyone; but just what was the
nature of each one's work, or how
mankind was to be awakened to the
necessity of meeting this demand,
seemed to be something quite
beyond their ken." Ella W. Hoag,
1922
|
-
|
Pharaoh
"How we do rejoice that in these
latter days we have the full
revelation of Christ, Truth, in
Christian Science, the
understanding of which gives man
dominion and power now to enter
into the promised land where
'neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt,' and where nothing can
enter 'that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie.'" Ross S.
Pillsbury, 1919
|
-
|
"Physician,
heal
thyself"
"Occasionally students of
Christian Science are called upon
for treatment before they have
themselves received complete
healing." Leon H. Kellner,
1924
|
-
|
Pilgrims
"Thus we begin to perceive what
it is to be a pilgrim and to
separate one's self from all
evil. It is to desire Truth above
all else, to listen for God's
voice, and to follow wherever
Truth and Love may lead."
Elizabeth Earl Jones,
1916
|
-
|
Place
"Idea never has to wait to find
its place; neither is place ever
idle waiting for idea to fill it.
From the beginning they are
inseparable." Luella M.
MacArthur, 1919
|
-
|
Place
and
Power
"When mortals cease to seek place
and power in matter, in material
authority and office, and seek
instead an understanding that
identity is the reflection of
Spirit, they find that their true
place unfolds naturally, and that
power is seen in actual
experience in a conscious ability
to reflect, in a degree, the
nature and character of God."
Martin G. Torson, 1922
|
-
|
Practical
Illustrations
"Of this we all are certain, the
Christian Science Sermons are
given by Love, constructed by
Love and made up of Love. They
are the offspring of divine
Intelligence, the Light from the
Sun of Righteousness for the
healing of the Nations."
Christian Science
Sentinel, 1899
|
-
|
Pray
Always
"He tells his disciples they
shall be hated of men, delivered
up and cast into prison, for his
sake, but to take no anxious
thought as to their deliverance,
for wisdom would be given them in
that hour, and not one hair of
their heads be harmed." David B.
Ogden, 1897
|
-
|
Prayers
for
Prosperity
"One thing is certain, that
neither nations nor individuals
can prosper in any true sense, or
for any length of time, unless
they are obedient to the law of
Truth and Love: and the sooner we
find this out the better for us
as individuals in the working out
of our daily problems." Annie M.
Knott, 1917
|
-
|
Predestination
"Someone has ventured to say that
'religion is mainly an opiate' to
keep the nations asleep. The very
opposite is the case! Religion
makes the most tremendous demands
upon mortals to arouse
themselves, so as to bring out
higher ideals along all lines."
Annie M. Knott, 1928
|
-
|
Preparation
"God blesses infinitely all who
seek Him 'in spirit and in
truth,' but the blessing is
contingent upon the seeking.
Adequate preparation insures the
success of the true seeker."
Albert F. Gilmore,
1925
|
-
|
"Press
toward the
mark"
"Each mortal must some day
recognize the fact that all must
reach this goal; and there is
only one way it can be done. It
is the way Jesus did it,
through conquering the flesh with
the spirit, through overcoming
evil with good, through
triumphing over matter with
divine Mind." Ella W. Hoag,
1920
|
-
|
Probation
"The more one investigates the
Scriptures in this light, the
firmer becomes the conviction
that the 'probationary period'
extends beyond this phase of life
into the remotest future of sin's
claims of power and dominion."
Judge Hanna, 1897
|
-
|
The
Problem of the Hickory
Tree
"A certain hickory tree which
shades our lawn has lately been
the means of teaching so valuable
a lesson that its story is here
told for the benefit of others
who, figuratively speaking, may
have hickory trees on their own
premises." Louise Wheatley Cook
Hovnanian, 1911
|
-
|
Progress
"This truth as taught in
Christian Science is for all to
understand and to practice, for
'God is no respecter of persons;'
but the revelation did not come
to the writer until she had
learned to pray, at first
haltingly and then with deepest
desire: Take away all that would
come between Thee and
me."
Mary Jones, 1920
|
-
|
Promiscuous
Literature
". . . If reading Science and
Health and entering into its
crystalline clearness of thought
has lifted the cloud of beliefs
of various kinds from your mind,
and illuminated it, why should
not reading error, or a mixture
of Truth and error, have an
opposite effect, and cloud your
spiritual vision?" Caroline D.
Noyes, 1889
|
-
|
The
Promised
Land
"It is deeply significant to read
that towards the close of this
tremendous struggle a 'great
white throne' appeared, that men
and nations were called to stand
before God and to be judged
according to their works, and
that then 'the sea gave up the
dead which were in it.'" Annie M.
Knott, 1918
|
-
|
"The
Promise of the Holy
Ghost"
"Without the gleams of light
which come from spiritual
intuition, the history of mankind
would have been dark indeed; but
happily these have come from age
to age, and most vividly when
most needed." Annie M. Knott,
1911
|
-
|
Prophecy
". . . The time need not be far
distant when the advancing
students of this Science will
demonstrate more generally the
power of spiritual understanding
to reveal the past, perceive the
present, and foretell the future,
whenever and wherever such
knowledge is necessary in
accomplishing good for mankind."
William B. Harrison,
1922
|
-
|
Prophecy
". . . The warnings given in
Scripture must not be overlooked.
Mortal mind would be glad to
dream on in its belief of the
pleasures of the senses, all
based upon the delusion of life
as separate from God, Spirit, and
unlike the divine creation."
Annie M. Knott, 1917
|
-
|
A
Prophetic
Vision
". . . I read as a part of my
Bible study the 53d and 54th
chapters of Isaiah. As I read the
latter it came to me almost as a
voice speaking that this chapter
was as distinctly and literally a
prophecy of Mrs. Eddy as was the
53d chapter a prophecy of Jesus."
Judge Hanna
|
-
|
Protection
"Reference is constantly made in
the Scriptures to the fact that
God is near to all who rely on
Him, and many concrete examples
prove the reward of this trust .
. ." Hugh Stuart Campbell,
1918
|
-
|
Protection
"Religionists have preached
loudly of God as the supreme
protector; but have they
understood just what His
protection includes, or how to
claim it?" Ella W. Hoag,
1925
|
-
|
Protection
through
Watchfulness
"Christian Science shows in a
simple and clear manner that
Jesus was thus able to
demonstrate perfect protection
because he always watched his
thinking, and never allowed any
but the thoughts of God, divine
Mind, to remain with him." Ella
W. Hoag, 1926
|
-
|
Proving
God
"All day long the practitioner's
words kept singing themselves in
her heart, 'Did you ever try
loving?'" Mary Dyer Lemon, 1919
|
-
|
"The
pure in
heart"
"Of old, St. Paul said to young
Timothy, 'Keep thyself pure;' and
Mrs. Eddy says, 'It is chastity
and purity, in contrast with the
downward tendencies and earthward
gravitation of sensualism and
impurity, which really attest the
divine origin and operation of
Christian Science' (Science and
Health, p. 272)." Annie M. Knott,
1909
|
-
|
Pure
Rationality
"'. . . [Mrs. Eddy's]
message is the most purely
rational that has been delivered
to man; . . .'" Harry L. Rhodes,
1924
|
-
|
Purity
"No divine quality is more to be
desired than purity. The very
word brings visions of loveliness
and of things desirable; but
because it presents, even to the
human thought, so high a
standard, mankind has generally
relegated it to the realm of the
impossible." Ella W. Hoag,

"Too much cannot be said
respecting Mrs. Eddys
sublime courage in standing by
her discovery that divine power
is the only power, and she did
not hesitate to say that 'to
acknowledge any other power is to
dishonor God' (Science and
Health, p. 228)." Annie M. Knott,

during the controversy which has
been waged around these alleged

twoscore years, there may have

The
Real and the
Counterfeit
".
. . The more conscientiously we
obey the injunction to 'acquaint
now thyself with him
[God]' the less will we
be liable to accept as real any
of the counterfeits which error
is ever presenting for our
acceptance." Olive A. Rainey,
1913

Real
and the Unreal,
The
"When we have learned the truth
about God and His creation, we
shall know that sickness and
discord of every character are
unreal; and just to the extent
that we think and live in harmony
with this understanding, we shall
be free. God and His
manifestation are all there is."
George A. Magney, 1924

Reality
"Peace, satisfaction, and plenty
come to all who are willing to
put off the old for the new;
discord,
disease, and death melt away as a
dream when the vision of reality
dawns upon enlightened thought
and is expressed in daily
living." Adell Lonergan,
1925

Reality
versus the
Counterfeit
"The wise Christian Scientist
does not waste his time with
counterfeits in his pursuit of
the genuine. He is endeavoring to
reach beyond the illusions of
sense and grasp to some extent
the realities of Spirit." Lewis
C. Strang, 1917

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."
Annie M. Knott, 1912

|
Redemption
"In following this thought
throughout the Scriptures we find
many statements which declare
that God redeems men from death
and the grave, as well as from
sin and sickness, from 'the power
of the sword' and from 'the
scourge of the tongue.'" Annie M.
Knott, 1914

Reflection

we are told that God, the
creative Mind, was pleased with
the reflection of His own nature

Knott, 1916

Refuge
"On
page 83 of Science and Health
Mrs. Eddy says, 'Mortals must
find refuge in Truth in order to
escape the error of these latter
days.' At the present time no
Christian Scientist would
question this statement, and
happily for them they know where
the place of refuge is to be
found."
Annie M. Knott, 1918

A
Refuge from the
Storm
"On page 362 of 'Miscellaneous
Writings' Mrs. Eddy says, 'We all
must find shelter from the storm
and tempest in the tabernacle of
Spirit.' It is indeed good to
know that this shelter is
prepared for all of us, wherever
we may be, and we have but to
avail ourselves through spiritual
understanding of this rich
provision of divine Love." Annie

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." Annie M. Knott,
1905

"Remember
now thy
Creator."
"To
heal the sick as Jesus did we
must pierce through the veil of
belief in matter. At every point
we must grasp and hold the
spiritual fact of God and His
idea, which is clothed with
immortality. Then we shall know
what is meant by man's going 'to
his long home.'" Annie M. Knott,
1909

Reminiscence,
A
"It was in the summer of 1878, if
I remember aright, that I saw
Mrs. Mary B. G. Eddy for the
first time. Christian Science was
comparatively new, and it was
very difficult for her to obtain
a place to preach in, large
enough to accommodate an ordinary
audience." A. P. W,
1888

Critic

Resurrection
"The work of the Christ, in
coming to the flesh, is to
destroy all evil; and Christian
Science teaches that this is done
by resurrecting true concepts
from this supposititious burial
in materiality . . ." Nellie B.
Mace, 1925

|
Restoration
"Among the many beautiful
passages of Scripture which deal
with the idea of restoration,
these inspiring words of the
twenty-third psalm stand out with
great prominence: 'He restoreth
my soul.' This, as understood in
Christian Science, means the
restoration of the spiritual
sense, which knows only harmony,
and which knows no fear even in
'the valley of the shadow of
death.'" Annie M. Knott,
1916

The
Return to

them into Galilee." Ezra W.
Palmer, 1923

Reverence
and
Brotherhood
"The gates of pearl are found
wherever a pure thought shuts out
an impure one, and as the
Christian virtues unfold to
awakening sense we understand
what is meant by 'all manner of
precious stones' in the symbolism
of the Apocalypse." Annie M.
Knott, 1915

Reverence
for
Age
"The Hebrews were wise enough to
see that their national welfare
depended upon their acceptance of
the spiritual lessons which they
received from the prophets, most
of whom were men of long
experience and rare insight and
foresight; men who had proved for
themselves the uncertainty of
material things and who were
reaching out for eternal
realities." Annie M. Knott,
1907

The
Right Beginning for
Thought
". . . John went so far as to
say, 'The whole world lieth in
wickedness.' What is the matter
with the whole world? Why do the
children of the world persecute
the children of God, and while
not earning happiness for
themselves try to argue it away
from others?" William P.
McKenzie, 1920

Right
Condemnation
"Now so long as one believes in
and indulges evil, there must
always be united therewith the
consciousness that sometime its
ultimate destruction must occur,
and hence sin indulged always
includes fear of condemnation.
Then each mortal can readily see
that he is the arbiter of his own
sense of condemnation." Ella W.
Hoag, 1920

Right
Social
Standards
"The student of Christian
metaphysics is convinced that
society will never reach its
goal, will never fulfill its
highest purpose, until humanity
is willing to adopt the standards
set forth by the Founder of
Christianity, and men are willing
to labor unselfishly, seeking
their own good in doing good to
others." Albert F. Gilmore,
1927
