. . The measure of your
God consciousness is the
measure of your reality,
the measure of your
freedom, the measure of
your service to the
world, the measure of
your ability to be well,
sound, sane, and
efficient."
A
True Conception of
God "Do
Christian Scientists
believe in God? This
question is often asked
us, and the reason for
asking it is said to be
that the inquirer has
been told we do not
believe in God. A
Christian Scientist
being once asked this
question replied, 'Why I
believe in nothing
else.'"
Proofs
of God's Constant
Protection "I
appreciate and become
more grateful each day
to Mrs. Eddy for her
life's work in giving us
the true knowledge about
God, about Jesus, about
our brother man and
ourselves."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"As
we look over the arena
of the world and witness
the birth-throes of the
idea of liberty, we may
well ask ourselves
whether we, as Christian
Scientists, are as ready
to pay the price of
freedom as are those who
have entered the lists
to seek what good may be
gained by the attainment
of improved political
conditions. We cannot
deny that their efforts
are heroic, as one
generation after another
takes up the desperate
struggle, inspired only
by faith in the justice
and the ultimate success
of their cause. And
where do we stand? we to
whom there has been
committed the greatest
ideal ever presented to
humanity, acceptance of
which leads to the
attainment of complete
freedom from sin,
disease, and death,
— a freedom that
affects every issue,
individual, social,
political, and
religious."

"Why
is it
'a
mistake
to
attempt
to
trace
our
likeness
to God
by
taking
the
physical
body,
or its
members,
even
as
symbols
of
divine
ideas'?
Because
it
tends
to
'link'
matter
to the
spiritual
idea
and
thus
apparently
to spiritualize
matter and
organs."
"And
there shall be
signs in the
sun, and in the
moon, and in
the stars; and
upon the earth
distress of
nations,
with
perplexity; the sea
and
the
waves roaring; Men's
hearts failing them for
fear, and for looking
after those things which
are coming on the earth:
for the powers of heaven
shall be shaken."
— Christ Jesus
"Jesus
established what he said
by demonstration, thus
making his acts of
higher importance than
his words. He proved
what he taught. This is
the Science of
Christianity. Jesus
proved the
Principle, which heals
the sick and casts out
error, to be divine.
Few, however, except his
students under-stood in
the least his teachings
and their glorious
proofs, — namely,
that Life, Truth, and
Love (the Principle of
this unacknowledged
Science) destroy all
error, evil, disease,
and death."
— Mary Baker
Eddy
"My
first illumination came when reading our
textbook. It was as clear as someone
speaking to me. 'I hope, dear reader, I am
leading you into the understanding of your
divine rights' (p. 253). From childhood
I had been taught to believe the
Bible. But I now saw that all my former
laws of life and health had come from
physiology, not from the Bible. It was
unbelievable; and worse still, the whole
world was duped just as I had been."
