the way stretch
sometimes lonely? / Is

to God, the only
Mind."
Universal
Availability of
Good "'Christian
Science strongly
emphasizes the thought
that God is not
corporeal, but
incorporeal,
—
that
is, bodiless,' Mrs. Eddy
tells us in 'Science and
Health with Key to the
Scriptures' (p.
116)."
On
the Overcoming of
Evil "Once
admitted into
consciousness, evil
assumes some aspect of
reality, and its
banishment may require
persistent knowing of
the truth. The Apostle
James, recognizing this,
declared, 'Resist the
devil [evil],
and he will flee from
you.'"
Influenza
Healed "'Error,'
says our beloved Leader
in 'Science and Health
with Key to the
Scriptures' (p. 368),
'is a coward before
Truth;' and time and
again it has fled before
a resolute affirmation
thereof."
"A
marvelous message of
love" ".
. . The literature which
my friend gave me, and
'Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures'
by Mary Baker Eddy,
which I borrowed from
the local Reading Room,
convinced me at once
that a marvelous message
of love had been given
by God to this
age."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"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
Bible
prophesies
two
appearings
of the
Christ
in the
flesh.
Christendom
has
waited
2,000
years
since
the
first
appearing
for
the
return
of
Christ
as
a
man;
however,
Christ Jesus
himself
revealed to St.
John in
Revelation 12
that the second
appearing would
come as a
woman. The
recognition and
acknow-ledgment
of these two
individuals is
essential to
the salvation
of mankind in
'these latter
days.'"
In
Volume 1 we
read, "What is
wisdom?
…True
wisdom is a
quality of God,
which
recognizes the
allness of
good, and
demands that
man know only
good.
God,
good,
forbade
man
to know evil. So true
wisdom is knowing good,
only. It is the
knowledge of good that
destroys all sense of
evil, for good separates
evil from itself just as
light (wisdom and
understanding) separates
darkness from
itself… It was the
serpent's lie, that to
know both good and evil
would make men wise,
which produced an
illusion of a material
universe and man, with
all its evil, sin,
disease and
death."
"Mrs.
Eddy was also a
woman of rare
moral courage
when we
consider that
forty years ago
she
founded
a
creed at total variance
with all established
beliefs. The doctrines
she enunciated at that
time had no other
adherent than herself.
The scorn and ridicule
which greeted her first
book has given place to
a widespread interest,
and a great portion of
humanity today believes
that the pill and potion
are not essential to the
cure of
disease."

"To
those leaning on the
sustaining infinite,
to-day is big with
blessings. The wakeful
shepherd beholds the
first faint morning
beams, ere cometh the
full radiance of a risen
day. So shone the pale
star to the
prophet-shepherds; yet
it traversed the night,
and came where, in
cradled obscurity, lay
the Bethlehem babe, the
human herald of Christ,
Truth, who would make
plain to benighted
understanding the way of
salvation through Christ
Jesus, till across a
night of error should
dawn the morning beams
and shine the guiding
star of being. The
Wisemen were led to
behold and to follow
this daystar of divine
Science, lighting the
way to eternal
harmony."
— Mary Baker
Eddy
"Could
it be proved that sin and sickness were
illusions from which a knowledge of God
would save us? Could the power of Mind
over matter be proved? Was it possible
that Christian Science was the Comforter
promised by Jesus? These questions came
surging in upon me and slowly but surely
they were answered in the affirmative."
