According
to Our
Faith "Because
we gain quickly a
certain intellectual
grasp of the letter of
Christian Science, we
are tempted to call this
spiritual understanding.
Using this letter, even
though with commendable
zeal, we may find our
efforts failing to bring
the healing we so long
to have
manifested."

Wisdom
and
Wealth "While
the Master warns his
followers against the
laying up of earthly
treasures, he commands
them to lay up spiritual
treasures, and assures
them that in giving
priority to the
spiritual, 'all' earthly
needs will be
supplied."
What
is
substance? "Substance
is that which is eternal
and incapable of discord
and decay."

great verities about the
nature of God and divine
healing are to be found
in the Bible, but Mrs.
Eddy gave me the insight
by which I learned to
understand those texts
in their all-important
actuality and
practicability."

"St.
John spiritually
discerned and revealed
the sum total of
transcendentalism. He
saw the real earth and
heaven. They were
spiritual, not material;
and they were without
pain, sin, or death.
Death was not the door
to this heaven. The
gates thereof he
declared were inlaid
with pearl, —
likening them to the
priceless understanding
of man's real existence,
to be recognized here
and now."

"Even
the
path
of the
Christian
Scientist
tends
to be
more
difficult
in the
afterlife
if one
is not
making
rapid
and
effective
spiritual
progress
before
death,
as
is
illustrated
in
the
following
account
by
Mr.
John Randall
Dunn, C.S.B.,
of Boston, a
well-known
Christian
Science
lecturer, and
former editor
of the
periodicals."

"For,
behold, the day
cometh, that
shall burn as
an oven; and
all the proud,
yea, and all
that
do
wickedly,
shall be
stubble:
and
the day that
cometh
shall
burn them up, saith the
Lord of hosts, that it
shall leave them neither
root nor branch. But
unto you that fear my
name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with
healing in his wings; .
. ." — Malachi
"In
our age Christianity is
again demonstrating the
power of divine
Principle, as it did
over nineteen hundred
years ago, by healing
the sick and triumphing
over death. Jesus never
taught that drugs, food,
air, and exercise could
make a man healthy, or
that they could destroy
human life; nor did he
illustrate these errors
by his practice. He
referred man's harmony
to Mind, not to matter,
and never tried to make
of none effect the
sentence of God, which
sealed God's
condemnation of sin,
sickness, and
death."
— Mary Baker

"I
used to wonder why Christian Scientists
always spoke of Mrs. Eddy with such
tenderness and reverence. But since I have
become familiar with the struggles of her
life and know how bravely she persisted,
and how surely and successfully she has
given to suffering humanity the Science of
the healing power of the Christ, I too
reverence this great woman and feel
confident that she was divinely sustained
and guided in this holy work." — Ruth
