0.0 – Christian Science Publication Contents

Final Edition authorized by Mary Baker Eddy.

  	    The discoverer of Christian Science finds the path less
 6	difficult when she has the high goal always before her
  	thoughts, than when she counts her footsteps                                  Our footsteps
  	in endeavoring to reach it. When the desti-                                       heavenward 
 9	nation is desirable, expectation speeds our progress. The
  	struggle for Truth makes one strong instead of weak,
  	resting instead of wearying one. If the belief in death
12	were obliterated, and the understanding obtained that
  	there is no death, this would be a "tree of life," known
  	by its fruits. Man should renew his energies and en-
15	deavors, and see the folly of hypocrisy, while also learn-
  	ing the necessity of working out his own salvation. When
  	it is learned that disease cannot destroy life, and that
18	mortals are not saved from sin or sickness by death, this
  	understanding will quicken into newness of life. It will
  	master either a desire to die or a dread of the grave,
21	and thus destroy the great fear that besets mortal
  	existence.
