The Continuity of Life - 1939 Association Address - 9 pages Daisette McKenzie
1 In my letter of invitation to you, I asked you all, as a preparation for our Association meeting, to read again with reverence and prayer, Mrs. Eddy's autobiography "Retrospection and Introspection" and her article on the Christian Science textbook. I had a special purpose in doing this. It is my deep conviction that we are in the midst of a great renaissance in our movement, the animus of which is a rebirth of understanding and appreciation of the spiritual leadership of Mary Baker Eddy, not only as the Leader of the Christian Science movement, but as the spiritual Leader of the world. In the days before her human personality disappeared, we had a very near sense of her presence and guidance. She was at hand to rebuke our shortcomings, heal our differences, guide our actions, comfort our sorrows, rejoice in our victories. Then came the cloud which received her out of our sight, and I have felt that unconsciously we have accepted the world's attitude in regard to this occurrence. Even though we knew she was not dead, we may have admitted that she had gone somewhere else, - was not with us as vitally as she had been.

Passing from Life to Life - 18 pages Rosalie Stamp
2 Science and Health makes clear to students of Christian Science the universally liberating truth that because Life is spiritual and eternal, man as the expression of Life is an immortal being; death is but another dream within the whole overall dream of mortal existence. Those same students, whilst recognising these absolute truths, may at their present stage of progress think with apprehension about passing on and all it implies. They may keep their dreads hidden, but it must be good to seek definite divine answers.

Staying with the highest we see of the Science revealed in the Gospels, the Apocalypse, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, can we not trust that Love's fulfilled and fulfilling plan for the individual will always be in operation and could not suddenly cease? Should we not affirm with all our heart and soul that because Love is Mind, it will care for every detail for us (and for all concerned) with supreme intelligence? Whatever the appearance, none of us can ever find ourselves in a position outside Love or that is not subject to divine control.

3 Dear Fellow Scientist:
You, as a Christian Scientist or indeed as any thoughtful man or women, will find the accompanying Story of vital interest although there is nothing of pure Christian Science in it. Jesus used parables to illustrate special points in his teaching of pure Christianity and this Story should be taken as a parable which illustrates perfectly the fact that hypnotic suggestion cannot deceive a mind which has fortified itself with the truth about any fact or circumstance which presents itself negatively.

In this account of Professor Herman von Scholtz's research into hypnotism the point is brought out that he resisted every effort of the Hindu hypnotist to deceive him, as long as the suggestions came as abnormalities, as startling and unusual experiences, but was tempted to yield to the suggestions of normal hunger and thirst. To the Professor normal matter was real even though he had fortified himself against believing in any unusual manifestations which the Hindu adept might appear to conjure.

It has been 75 years since SCIENCE AND HEALTH was given to the world in 1875, with its thunderous message There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all.

Do you as a Christian Scientist believe this? Do you accept what you call normal matter as real and then attempt to abolish abnormal matter as Professor von Scholtz was almost tricked into doing?
