1 of 7 MIND - THE DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

Mrs. Eddy writes,

“The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually repeating this diapason of  heaven:  ‘Good is my God, and my God is good.  Love is my God, and my God is Love.’”  (Mis. 206:19)

2 of 7 SPIRIT - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

We must declare often that Spirit is not an invisible personality inhabiting a material body.
Spirit has no other meaning than God, and substance.   We must declare there is only one Spirit and that is God.  Spirit is my God and my God is Spirit, individual, incorporeal, immaterial.
Spirit is enthroned in my consciousness.

3 of 7 SOUL - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

We must hold Soul in consciousness only as a sacred name for God.  We have to rise above the belief that Soul  is an invisible personality residing in a fleshly form, with a personal identity.
Soul must be recognized as a name for God and a name by which God is to be worshiped.  

4 of 7 PRINCIPLE - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

We must hallow this word “Principle” as a name for God.  Declare often: there is only one Principle, and this is my  infinite, all-present, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-acting, all-loving Principle.  Principle is my God and my God is divine Principle.  Good is my Principle and my Principle is good.

5 of 7 LIFE - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

Life is holy.  We must hallow this word, for it is a sacred name for God.
Declare often:  There is only one  Life, and that is God.  There is no personal life.  My life is God, an infinite, incorporeal, all-encompassing, all- present, all-active, everlasting Life.
Declare that God, good, is the only Life of man and the universe.

6 of 7 TRUTH - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

Truth is a sacred name for God. We must divest it of all materiality.
Declare often: Truth is my God and my God is  Truth.  Good is my Truth and my Truth is good.
Truth is enthroned in my consciousness. Error and materiality are not enthroned. This is the Word of God.

True sense of infinite

Question. — What is Mind? 

Answer. — Mind is God. The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that  the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind — called devil or evil — is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality. There can be but one Mind, because there is but one God; and if mortals claimed no other Mind and accepted no other, sin would be unknown. We can have but one Mind, if that one is infinite. We bury the sense of infinitude, when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all space is filled with God. [SH 469]

Real versus Unreal 

Question. — What are spirits and souls? 
Answer. — To human belief, they are personalities constituted of mind and matter, life and death, truth and error, good  and evil; but these contrasting pairs of terms represent contraries, as Christian Science reveals, which neither dwell together nor assimilate. Truth is immortal; error is mortal. Truth is limitless; error is limited. Truth is intelligent; error is non-intelligent. Moreover, Truth is real, and error is unreal. This last statement contains the point you will most reluctantly admit, although first and last it is the most important to understand. [SH 466]

The term souls or spirits is as improper as the term gods. Soul or Spirit signifies Deity and nothing else. There is no finite soul nor spirit. Soul or Spirit  means only one Mind, and cannot be rendered in the plural. Heathen mythology and Jewish theology have perpetuated the fallacy that intelligence, soul, and life can be in matter; and idolatry and ritualism are the outcome of all man-made beliefs. The Science of Christianity comes with fan in hand to separate the chaff from the wheat. Science will declare God aright, and Christianity will demonstrate this declaration and its divine Principle, making mankind better physically, morally, and spiritually. [SH 466]

Principle must be stated accurately in its Science. 
Principle is the Principle of all sciences Principle interprets itself through its system of categories, classifications, and self-operating calculus. 
Principle explains itself  by interpreting itself Principle is always working as a self-operating Principle.
Principle proves itself through a system of ideas and interrelationships.
Principle unites all into one through relationship, bringing all into relationship with Principle. [SH 376]

How little light or heat reach our earth when clouds cover the sun's face! So Christian Science can be seen only as the clouds of corporeal sense roll away. The  clouds Earth has little light or joy for mortals before  dissolving Life is spiritually learned. Every agony of mortal error helps error to destroy error, and so aids the apprehension of immortal Truth. This is the new birth going on hourly, by which men may entertain angels, the true ideas of God, the spiritual sense of being. [SH 548]

Truth versus Error  ~  "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." It is a rule in Christian Science never to repeat error  unless it becomes requisite to bring out Truth. Then lift the curtain, let in the light, and countermand this first command of Solomon, "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him."
A distant rumbling and quivering of the earth foretell the internal action of pent-up gas. To avoid danger from this source people have to escape from their houses to the open space. A conical cloud, hanging like a horoscope in the air, foreshadows a cyclone. To escape from this calamity people prepare shelter in caves of the earth. They who discern the face of the skies cannot always discern the mental signs of these times, and peer through the opaque error. Where my vision begins and is clear, theirs grows indistinct and ends. [MISC Pg 346:22 ]

Love Your Enemies ~ Who is thine enemy that thou shouldst love him? Is it a creature or a thing outside thine own creation?
Can you see an enemy, except you  first formulate this enemy and then look upon the object of your own conception? What is it that harms you? Can height, or depth, or any other creature separate you from the Love that is omnipresent good, — that blesses infinitely one and all?
Simply count your enemy to be that which defiles, defaces, and dethrones the Christ-image that you should reflect. Whatever purifies, sanctifies, and consecrates human life, is not an enemy, however much we suffer in the process. Shakespeare writes: "Sweet are the uses of adversity." Jesus said: "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." [MISC Writings ~ 8]

7a of 7 LOVE - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

Declare often:  Love is my God and my God is Love.  Good is my God and my good is Love.
Love is  my God and my love is good.  Love is my Principle and  my Principle is Love.  Love is the law of my being.  Divine Love is enthroned in my consciousness as my God.  This is the Word of God.

7b of 7 LOVE - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

Mrs. Eddy writes in Miscellaneous Writings,  “The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually  repeating this diapason of heaven: ‘Good is my God, and my God is good.  Love is my God and my God is Love.’”  (Mis. 206:19-23) This is the diapason of heaven. 

7c of 7 ~ LOVE - DIAPASON OF HEAVEN

The eleventh chapter of Hebrews assures us that a good Mind is the only Mind. We must declare good constantly. Mrs. Eddy  speaks of the "diapason of heaven" in these words, "Good is my God, and my God is Good. Love is my God, and my God is Love."

There is no abscess, for man is spiritual, manifesting purity and holiness; there is no inflammation, all is purity. There are no material germs, the lesser ideas of God minister  to and benefit man and are always in the right place. There is no matter, only Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit; man's skin is spiritual, reflecting substance, pure and complete. (Then work against germs, poison and for circulation of the blood).

See ULCERS

Man is never absent, he is always in the right place at the right time, ministering to his fellow man and benefitting his fellow man, There is no separation, for  there is only one Mind, God, one cunsciousness, man; all men are part of that one consciousness, therefore man is instantly in touch with anyone he needs, ever expressing infinite presence.

AN EVER-PRESENT HELP FOUND 

24	    On the 23rd of March, 1900, I received from one of my
  	daughters a copy of Science and Health on my  seventy-first
  	birthday. Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers
27	and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci-
  	ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco
  	newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the
30	Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 
 1	    In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of
  	thought that was not readily understood at the first read-
 3	ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal
  	of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu-
  	ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation
 6	in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One
  	afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks
  	of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim-
 9	ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. 
  	I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive
  	it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the
12	back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force,
  	into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about
  	twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the
15	snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand
  	there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and
  	another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 
18	"Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery
  	for you," and without further ceremony, I began to
  	treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the
21	result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and
  	so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I
  	paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my
24	work, and then went to supper. When I washed my
  	face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block
  	of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to
27	bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain
  	on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand
  	there was another big lump on the right side, but I
30	treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an
  	hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw
  	was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on
 1	the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since
  	disappeared. 
 3	    In summing up the benefits I have received from
  	the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to
  	a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862),
 6	when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near
  	making an end of my material existence. My hearing,
  	also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon
 9	firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where
  	I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now
  	eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind
12	is giving me a rest which I never experienced before
  	during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for
  	the divine presence that was always near, though I did
15	not know it. — L. B., Baldy, N. M. 

A CASE OF MENTAL SURGERY 

24         I have felt for some time I should give my experience
	in mental surgery. In May, 1902,  going home for
  	lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a
27     rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling
	on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone
  	was broken about half-way between the shoulder and
30    elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust,
 1     declaring the truth and denying that there could
	be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love,
 3     until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he
  	thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a
        half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again
 6    and managed to reach it.  On arriving there I lay
  	down and asked my little boy to bring me our text-
	book. He immediately brought Science and Health,
 9     which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. 
  	    I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at-
	tended to some duties and was about half an hour late
12     in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time
  	from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not
	been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to
15     continue my work without having it set, and carrying it
  	in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence
	almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken,
18     until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's
  	office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma-
	chine. The physician was asked to examine my left
21     arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look-
  	ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but
	whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will
24     never have any further trouble from that break." My
  	friend then asked the doctor to show how he could
	tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed
27    out the place as being slightly thicker at that part,
  	like a piece of steel that had been welded. This
	was the first of several cases of mental surgery that
30    have come under my notice, and it made a deep
  	impression on me. 
 1	    For the benefit of others who may have something
  	similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost
 3	constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back
  	to my earliest recollection. — L. C. S., Salt Lake City,
  	Utah. 

01/30/2024 ~ Accidents ~ There are no accidents in divine Mind.

Fear is false evidence appearing real.

What is unique about an accident?

What is a common feature of all accidents with all  other problems?

Listen to this treatment for complete details.

It never happened (or if fear of accident, " No accident can happen"), all God's ideas are spiritual and perfect, surrounded by divine Love. Man cannot be harmed, as he  is governed by God and God alone. Man cannot be touched by matter, for all is spiritual; there is no matter, only Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. The lesser ideas of God can never harm the higher ideas Of God, they minister to man and benefit him. There is no death, all is Life eternal. There are no accidents, man is poised in Mind, and is always in the right place at the right time, for he is God's consciousness, spiritual and perfect. There is only God and God's perfect manifestation.

Man never fails to pass on God's ideas when necessary, for the move- ment of the ideas is due to God; Life brings the ideas and Love causes man to  pass them on ; 'God is the Principle of all law and order. There is no wane, God is the source of all supply, and man has instantly every- thing that he needs. There are infinite ideas available to man, and these ideas continually unfold to him with absolute, unfailing regularity. "TIN law of Ihe urd i.r fMrfttl" (Ps. 19: 7). Soml'lim('s fear i~ the occasion for delay in payment, the debtor thinking that the money had better remain in the bank to pay accoullts which may possibly become more pressing. For this you can realise that: there is no fear, man has absolute trust in God, trust in good; he can never be in want, and knows that he: can never be in want, for there are infinite ideas available to man instantly, Man is always passing on ideas to his fellow man, and he knuws that there arc infinite further ideas to draw upon. There is no want of justice, God is the Principle of all justice and man is absolutely just. Sometimes injustice comes from sheer carelessness and thoughtlessness. For this it can be realised that man is never careless, man is always accurate and doing what is right, manifesting the exactitude which is Principle; he is constantly. loving and benefiting his fellow man, for man is governed by God and by God alone and is ahsolutely fair and just.

HEALTH AND PEACE ATTAINED 

 9	    For fifteen years I was a great sufferer physically and
  	mentally. Eminent physicians treated me for hereditary
  	consumption, torpid  liver, and many other diseases. I
12	sought relief at famous springs, the ozone of Florida, and
  	the pure air of Colorado, but in vain. My life was one
  	ceaseless torture. 
15	    During all this time, however, I was an earnest seeker
  	after Truth. I examined every religious teaching with
  	a calm and unprejudiced attention. From an orthodox
18	Protestant I became a skeptic, and a follower of Voltaire,
  	Tom Paine, and Ingersoll; yet all the while I retained
  	faith in a supreme intelligent Being who made all. Sick,
21	weary, doubting, and despairing, I accidentally went into
  	a Christian Science church in New York City, on a Wed-
  	nesday evening, not knowing what kind of a place it was. 
24	Seeing a large number of people going into the build-
  	ing, I followed, supposing that a marriage ceremony
  	had attracted the crowd. Being informed it was their
27	regular Wednesday evening service, I inquired as to the
  	denomination. I concluded that it was another new fad,
  	but after investigation I procured a copy of Science and
30	Health, promising I would read it carefully. I began
 1	reading the book on Tuesday and finished on Friday of
  	the same week. I was still in the dark. I laid the book
 3	down, involuntarily closed my eyes, and silently prayed
  	to God. 
  	    I remained in that attitude a few moments, when I
 6	felt like the mariner who had been tossed for days upon
  	a boisterous sea, the clouds bending low, the billows
  	rolling high, all nature wrapped in darkness; in his de-
 9	spair he kneels and commits his soul to God, when he
  	suddenly beholds the North Star breaking through the
  	clouds, enabling him to guide his ship to the shores of
12	safety. Many things were made plain to me. I saw
  	that there is one Fatherhood of God and one brother-
  	hood of man; that though "once I was blind, now I see;"
15	that there was no more pain, nor aches, no fear, nor in-
  	digestion. I slept that night like a babe and awoke next
  	morning refreshed. There are now no traces whatever of
18	my former complaint and I feel like a new being. — L. P.,
             New York, N. Y. 

HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my  room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,

There is no acidity, man's food is the ideas of God, which man digests, assimilates, and understands perfectly. These ideas never create acidity, they feed man, nourish him and give  him his increase. Man's mucous membrane never can be inflamed, it is the tender, loving action of God which preserves and maintains man's individuality, spiritual, perfect and complete, reflecting substance.

03/19/2024 - The introductory quotes to Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy is worth all 700 pages of the textbook. In a few words,  they summarize the entire story. Must study the book to understand these few words.

1. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 
2. There is nothing, either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
3. O, thou has heard my prayer. And I am blessed. This is thy high behest, thou here and everywhere.


These quotes are from John, Shakespeare, and Mary Baker Eddy, respectively.

What we learn as we experience life and Life is what we should contemplate on a continuous basis not just once a year. We must learn from our mistakes and gain a little more spiritual experience each day....CLICK media to listen complete details.

This is a class of thought which suggests evil, such as: .. You arc not looking very we\l to.day," or .. I don't think you will be able to finish  that work in timl!."

24	         A RESTLESS SENSE OF EXISTENCE DESTROYED 

  	    Through reading Science and Health and the illu-
   	mination which followed, I was healed of ulceration of
27	the stomach and kindred troubles, a restless sense of
  	existence, agnosticism, etc. The torture I endured with
  	the stomach trouble I will not attempt to describe. The
30	attending physician declared that I could live but a short
 1	time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur-
  	ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into
 3	nothingness through Christian Science, which brought
  	me peace. 
  	    Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the
 6	sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon-
  	estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of
  	religions and philosophies that came under my notice,
 9	with the exception of Christian Science, which was
  	not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held
  	the very truth I was searching for — the light which
12	"shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com-
  	prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist-
  	ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed — 
15	then the light came, and with it a new experience. 
  	Now, after nine years of Christian Science experience,
  	under severe tests, it can be truthfully said that it
18	has not failed me in any hour of need. — J. F. J.,
  	Cincinnati, Ohio. 

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER HEALED 

  	    When Christian Science came to me, I had been tak-
15	ing medicine every day for twenty years, on account of
   	constipation. I had been treated by doctors and spe-
  	cialists; had taken magnetic treatments and osteopathy;
18	had tried change of climate; had an operation in a hospital,
  	and when I came out was worse than before. I was
  	so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard
21	of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed
  	as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend
  	suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard
24	that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought
  	this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this
  	was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book,
27	Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of
  	curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped
  	by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine
30	and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I,
 1	however, dropped my medicine and read for three days;
  	then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed
 3	of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since. 
  	I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since,
  	and other ailments have disappeared. My little daughter
 6	has also been healed and has learned to use this knowledge
  	in her school work. — Mrs. O. R., Leadville, Col. 

GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING 

  	    About four years ago, after I had tried different ways
30	and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a  faith-
 1	ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris-
  	tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in-
 3	vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would
  	be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if
  	it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but
 6	that I would find out and be convinced. 
  	    After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health,
  	a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared,
 9	and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. 
  	I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often
  	determined to use my will power and never smoke again,
12	but had always failed. This desire as well as the de-
  	sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here,
  	that I received all these benefits before I had gained much
15	understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner,
  	who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. 
  	I did not then know how the chain had been removed,
18	but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading
  	of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more,
  	and to know what this power was that had freed me
21	in a few days of that which I had been trying for years
  	to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to
  	me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught
24	and preached to free humanity almost two thousand
  	years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply
  	it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought
27	that if I continued in my study I would have to retire
  	from business. 
  	    This did not happen, however, for I gradually found
30	that the little understanding of this wonderful teach-
  	ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in
  	my business. I became more friendly, more honest,
 1	more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better
  	judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right
 3	time. As a natural result my business improved. Be-
  	fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business
  	had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived
 6	me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the
  	study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable
  	treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health,
 9	and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and
  	confidence in God and that insight into character which
  	is necessary for the correct management of any business.

27	                            AN EVER-PRESENT  HELP 

  	    It is a year since I began to read Science and Health,
  	and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its
30	teachings has done for me. 
 1	    My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which
  	had caused me much trouble since childhood, were
 3	very painful. For these I had been treated by some
  	of the best specialists in my native land, and after
  	coming to the United States I had been doctored
 6	much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had
  	catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without
  	being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive
 9	smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. 
  	I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors
  	freely. 
12	    The one who brought to me that which I now prize
  	so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should
  	be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 
15	He then told me of having been healed of a cancer,
  	through Christian Science treatment. He showed me
  	a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of
18	much use, and after being assured that if I did my part
  	I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of
  	the book. 
21	    My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the
  	book only three weeks I was completely healed of the
  	tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing,
24	that it did not require even as much as a resolution
  	on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading
  	Science and Health, when all the desire to continue
27	smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use
  	tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the
  	next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge
30	gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go
  	about my work with ease, and I have had no more
  	use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh
 1	has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the
  	use of liquor. 
 3	    Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present
  	help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in
  	business and daily life. It has also overcome a great
 6	sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with
  	suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has
  	become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science
 9	textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and
  	has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of
  	harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. 

GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING 

  	    About four years ago, after I had tried different ways
30	and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a  faith-
 1	ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris-
  	tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in-
 3	vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would
  	be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if
  	it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but
 6	that I would find out and be convinced. 
  	    After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health,
  	a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared,
 9	and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. 
  	I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often
  	determined to use my will power and never smoke again,
12	but had always failed. This desire as well as the de-
  	sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here,
  	that I received all these benefits before I had gained much
15	understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner,
  	who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. 
  	I did not then know how the chain had been removed,
18	but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading
  	of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more,
  	and to know what this power was that had freed me
21	in a few days of that which I had been trying for years
  	to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to
  	me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught

27	that if I continued in my study I would have to retire
  	from business.

06/05/2022 - Why pray for America or any country in which you are a citizen if you want freedom + information about Mary Baker Eddy’s statement re the system of  divine metaphysics. Introduction 2 min

There is no poverty of the blood, the blood is the joy circulating throughout consciousness, perfect, rich, divine and holy joy. It cannot be impoverished, for it is eternally divine,  "yollr joy no man tahth from you" (John 16 : 22), for, "yollr life il bid witb Christ in God" (Col. :I : 3). "God my exceeding joy" (Ps. 43 : 4). Man's blood is not material, it is spiritual and remains unchangeably pure and perfect. One form of anaemia is characterised by deficiency of red blood corpuscles, the main object of which is to carry oxygen to the tissues. Here you can realise that there is no deficiency in red corpuscles of the blood, man's blood is the joy which reflects substance and is full, complete and perfect, reflecting entity, always the same. There is no want of oxygen, God's ideas are perfect, full and complete, and always in the right place whenever needed. (Work for activity of the spleen). There is no lassitude, man is the consciousness of infinite strength, joyous strength, for "tbe joy of th, Lord is j'ollr slrenglh" (Neh. 8 : 10). There is no shortness of breath, for breathing is the action of Life and Love, calm, peaceful and harmonious; man is God's consciousness, and the receiving and radiating forth again of God's ideas is a sweet and joyous activity. God's ideas pass to and fro in Mind with infinite ease, giving man i~te joy. .. The kingdom of God il , .• joy" (Rom. 14: 17) ... Be glad in Ihe Lord, and rejoiG.',ye righleolll: and shoul for joy (Ps. 32. : I I); .. Iht Ions of God sboliled for joy" (Job 38 : 7) ; "&joilt in Ihe Lord alway" (Phil. 4 : 4); "I will greal!'y rejoin in the Lord, my 10111 sbaJl bt joyflll in my God" (Is. 6 I : 10). 

There ill no anger, there ill nnly absoluic Love, peace and harmony, for God is Love and Love is omnipotence, the only power and the only ruler; man is the  reflection of Love and reflects Love and is absolutely loving, for he is the love of God, the love of Love, governed by God and by God alone, for God is the only power. Infinite Love surrounds man and man is infinitely loving towards aU, receiving and re-presenting only God's ideas. Perfect Love reigns universally; there is absolute peace and harmony everywhere, as man is always helping his fellow man, manifesting divine Love, governed by "the peace 0/ God, ll·hM, pauetb aI/under/tanding" (Phil. 4 : 7). "To infinite, ever-prnmt l..mJe, all is Love" (S. & H. p. 567).

See LOVE

There is no angina pectoris, for man is spiritual and perfect. There is no pain in the heart, man's heart is the knowledge of God as Love.  There is  no pain in the arm, man's arm is his power of re-presenting God's ideas to his fellow man. There is no fear of impending death, man has absolute trust in God, trust in good; he is the consciousness of God, and possesses perfect peace, the very "peate 0/ God." there is no death, Life is unending, eternal, for Life is God. There is no disorder of the nerves of the heart, the nerves are channels in consciousness through which man receives the ide:ls of God, ideas of infinite rest, infinite peace, infinite gladness. (Treat steadily against fear). 

See HEART

This is used by some metaphysical workers as a synonym for mortal mind, but this is a mistake. There are few enough words to express metaphysical terms as it is.  Animal magnetism is more properly used to mean the worst kind of evil thoughts, such as make a child tear the wings off a fly, and men behave in the cruel way they do sometimes when at war. It also brings about the savage attacks that mental workers sometimes make upon their fellow workers, which attacks can only be expressed as forms of mania. One can work against this by realising that there is no animal magnetism, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness. 

Every idea of God reflects the whole of God, every aspect and quality to an infinite extent. Animals are very susceptible to thought, more so than human beings. It is  as important to work for the moral qualities of animals as for human beings. I have found it successful to think of them as lesser ideas of God. In most ('a~es work against the trouble itself which is troubling the animal and ill this way you can treat as for a human being or for any idea of God. Work against mortal mind, thoughts of materia medica, fear, aggressive mental suggestion, mental malpractice, hypnotism, etc., just as if you were treating for a human being. The secret of 'success in dealing with animals is love and by treatment it is not at all difficult to entirely change the character of an animal; working, for instance, by the realisation of God as Love and rca\ising the absolute love there is in heaven, the world of reality. "LoJJf gi/leth 10 the ltasl spirilual idea "'ight, i"IHlortalily, and goodneu, n1mch Ihine throllgh 01/ 01 Ihe b/oJlOm sMlltI throllgh the bud" (S. & H. p. ~ 18). 

See CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

God’s ideas can never go in the wrong direction, they are led and governed by God and are always in the right place. There is only one Mind, God, guiding  and governing all. Life is the law of Soul, and guides all God’s ideas into their right place, and these ideas unfold in perfect sequence, idea after idea. None of God’s ideas can ever go in opposition to the other ideas of God, as Love is the power which causes all ideas to circulate. All God’s ideas are poised in Mind, always in the right place, governed by the one Mind, God, and always ministering to man.

No animal can harm man, all the lesser ideas of God minister to and benefit man. Man cannot be attacked, he is surrounded by divine Love ; there is. no  fear, God is Love and Truth, and all God’s ideas partake of the nature of God, and manifest Love and know Truth. All God’s ideas arc always doing the right thing at the right time, ministering to man and benefiting him. “For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All** (S. & H., p. 17).

There is no fighting, for all God’s ideas arc spiritual, governed by “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding** (Phil. 4 : 7). There is no hatred, only divine  Love ; no revenge, all is charity ; all God’s ideas love one another. There is no material action, all action is spiritual. (Then work for love).

There is no mortal mind to cause animals to take anything that man needs, for there is only one Mind, God, and all His ideas are harmoniously governed by that  one Mind. Animals are God’s ideas which never take or destroy any idea of God, but are continually helping man; none of God’s ideas can possibly harm man, they always minister to and benefit man ; they are never in the wrong place, they are always in Mind, in God. “God, Spirit, alone created all, and failed it good” (S. & H. p. 339). (Then .work for love).

12	                    SUBSTANCE OF LUNGS RESTORED 

  	     It was about fifteen years ago that Christian Science
  	first came to my notice. At that time I had been a chronic
15	invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel
  	trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One
  	physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper,
18	ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as
  	my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic-
  	tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and
21	every material remedy that promised help, but no help
  	came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci-
  	ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands
24	by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told
  	that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com-
  	menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau-
27	tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and
  	healed me of all those diseases, and they have never
  	returned. 
30	    I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained
 1	ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all
  	that day and during the night I gave myself Christian
 3	Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning
  	it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen,
  	and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could,
 6	I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of
  	Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I
  	became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about
 9	my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had
  	a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the
  	time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two
12	hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. 
  	When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt-
  	ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue
15	appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. 
  	It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and
  	"present with the Lord." This experience was worth
18	a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is
  	done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. 

Man is never antagonistic towards his fellow man, he loves to be with him and to help him. Man always loves to receive the ideas of God from his fellow  man and these give him infinite joy and happiness; in exchange he re-presents God's ideas to his fellow man. All is peace and rest and harmony; man is governed by God, divine Love. (Then work for love).

There is no anxiety, man dwells peacefully, governed by "II., peafe 0/ God, whifh pallelh allll1ldmlantling" (Phil. 4 : 7). In divine Mind there is no fear, man has trust  in God, in good. Man has absolute trust in the certainty of God's unchanging perfect action.

There is no want of appetite, for man~s food is the ideas of God, which continually unfold to him; he loves to receive these ideas, which he digests, assimiktes and  understands perfectly and groups together into perfect combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness. The ideas feed man and nourish man and give him his increase.

See FOOD

There is no failure to keep appointments. God's ideas unfold to man in perfect sequence and arc passed on in perfect sequence. There is no confusion, all God's ideas are  governed by God, the Principle of all law and all order. Man can never fail to see his fellow man when necessary; there is only one Mind, God, and one consciousness, man; all men are part of that one consciousness and are instantly in touch with anyone they need. There is no space in Mind. man passes instantly from idea to idea and is always in the right place at the right time. There are no limitations of time, the only time is the continual unfolding of God's ideas and these ideas always unfold with unfailing regularity, as they are governed by God, the Principle of all law and all order. Man does everything at exactly the right time and when needed. 

There is no want of appreciation, for man has perfect understanding and thoroughly appreciates the work of every man and every combination of ideas which comes to him.

A CASE OF MENTAL SURGERY 

24         I have felt for some time I should give my experience
	in mental surgery. In May, 1902,  going home for
  	lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a
27     rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling
	on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone
  	was broken about half-way between the shoulder and
30    elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust,
 1     declaring the truth and denying that there could
	be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love,
 3     until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he
  	thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a
        half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again
 6    and managed to reach it.  On arriving there I lay
  	down and asked my little boy to bring me our text-

	chine. The physician was asked to examine my left
21     arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look-
  	ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but
	whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will
24     never have any further trouble from that break." My
  	friend then asked the doctor to show how he could
	tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed
27    out the place as being slightly thicker at that part,
  	like a piece of steel that had been welded. This

A CASE OF MENTAL SURGERY 

24         I have felt for some time I should give my experience
	in mental surgery. In May, 1902,  going home for
  	lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a
27     rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling
	on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone
  	was broken about half-way between the shoulder and
30    elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust,
 1     declaring the truth and denying that there could
	be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love,
 3     until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he
  	thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a
        half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again
 6    and managed to reach it.  On arriving there I lay
  	down and asked my little boy to bring me our text-
	book. He immediately brought Science and Health,
 9     which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. 
  	    I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at-
	tended to some duties and was about half an hour late
12     in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time
  	from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not
	been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to
15     continue my work without having it set, and carrying it
  	in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence
	almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken,
18     until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's
  	office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma-
	chine. The physician was asked to examine my left
21     arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look-

24     never have any further trouble from that break." My

See HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES

There is no mental assassination, God is man's Life and that Life can never be taken from him, for man is the life of Life. Man can never desire to  slay his fellow man, for God is Love, and all men are loving. 
Man's Life is God and man can never desire to take that Life away; man loves that Life, for that Life is God. Man can never be out of his Mind, for man is in Mind and ~eflects divine wisdom, iiltelligence and understanding, and is always governed by God, the Principle of good. (Then work against apparent reasons for the desire).

See MENTAL MALPRACTICE

There is no want of assimilation of food, man's food is the ideas of God which unfold to man; these ideas are digested, assimilated and understood perfectly. (Then work against  indigestion and, if necessary, against flatulence and acidity). 

There is no want of assistance, because God supplies all man's needs and therc are infinitc beings in Mind available to man instantly. Man has everything he nceds, for man  is God's consciousness; a perfect succession of ideas continually unfold to him, ministering to him and benefiting him, for all is governed by God, the Principle of all law and all order.

See LABOUR, LACK OF

See SERVANTS

There is no asthma, for man is spiritual and perfect. There is no diffi- culty in breathing, breathing is the action of Life and Love, calm, peaceful and harmonious; God's  ideas come and go with absolute, unfailing regularity; for God is the Principle of all law and order and man is governed by law and order; the receiving and radiating forth again of God's ideas is a sweet and joyous activity. There are no material nerves to keep man from breathing properly, f~r man's nerves are spiritual, channels in consciousness, through which God's ideas pass with unfailing ease and regularity, giving man joy and happiness. There.is no distress, all is peace, man is the infinite·peace.of God. "The urd of peare himself" gives "pea« a/way! by all means" (il Thess. 3 : 16).

THE TRUE PHYSICIAN FOUND 

15	    It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the
  	particulars of my healing through Christian Science. 
   	While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On-
18	tario, about three years ago, my attention was called
  	to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was
  	doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years,
21	but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my
  	recollection. 
  	    Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered
24	with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often
  	being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. 
  	I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for
27	four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every
  	known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only
  	gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci-
30	ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that
 1	grand book I was completely healed of all my physical
  	ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi-
 3	cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and
  	the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading
  	of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used
 6	to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an
  	occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I
  	feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly
 9	being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain,
  	and in many instances I find that my refusal helps
  	others. 
12	    While I fully appreciate the release from my physical
  	troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with
  	the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 
15	I had not been inside a church for more than ten years,
  	to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian
  	Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed
18	so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very
  	start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch
  	of the way has been through study and practical demon-
21	stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they
  	will try. 
  	    Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of
24	ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science
  	and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours
  	by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy-
27	self." — B. H. N., New York, N. Y. 

HEALTH AND PEACE GAINED 

21	    About nine years ago I was drawn to Christian
  	Science by a relative whose many afflictions had given
  	place to  health and harmony, and whose loving grati-
24	tude was reflected in every word and deed. The
  	thought came to me, God indeed healeth all our
  	diseases. 
27	    My first reading of Science and Health was without
  	understanding. I was full of darkness and gloom, and
  	it was laid aside for a time. The good seed had been
30	sown, however, and erelong the reading was resumed,
 1	and with such interest that my afflictions disappeared
  	"like mist before the morning sun." Asthma (thought
 3	to be hereditary), neuralgia in an aggravated form, and
  	besides these, the tobacco and liquor habit of many years'
  	standing left me. Bless the Lord, "He sent his word"
 6	and healed me, — for the reading of Science and Health
  	brought to my consciousness the truth that makes free.
  	 — S., Shellman, Ga. 

HEALED OF CONSUMPTION AND ASTHMA 

	    It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great benefits which
 12 	have come to me through Christian Science. It is nearly
   	ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by
	borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become
  15	a hopeless sufferer from asthma, — the disease being so
  	aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos-
	sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump-
  18	tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both
  	sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian
	Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw. 
  21	However, I was much interested as soon as I began to
  	understand it, and having read the book nearly all my
	waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better
  24	and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de-
  	stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never
	since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con-
  27	tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as
  	best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months. 
	    Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had
  30	been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that
  1	class of literature extensively, and had no desire for
	anything of a religious nature, — the orthodox teaching
  3	never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of
  	an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth
	of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza-
  6	reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of
  	mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that
	Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus
  9	proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of
  	greatest need. However great my physical suffering has
	been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con-
 12	sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus
  	I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God,
	good, as revealed in Christian Science. — C. B., Webb

24	                 ASTIGMATISM AND HERNIA HEALED 

  	    It is nearly  five years since I bought my first copy of
  	Science and Health, the reading of which cured me of
27	chronic constipation, nervous headache, astigmatism, and
  	hernia, in less than four months. 
  	    Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been
30	brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 
 1	I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond,
  	if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good
 3	that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works
  	testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person,
  	I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than
 6	words can express for the glorious healing that has come
  	to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con-
  	vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who
 9	has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch
  	at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B. S. J., Sioux
  	City, Iowa. 

A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND 

  	    It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
18	and to our dear Leader, that I send this  testimony to
  	the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
  	been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
21	life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
  	very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
  	two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be-
24	hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several
  	others, so that with these ills my life was often a
  	burden to me and I used to think I never should re-
27	ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for
  	God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
  	as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
30	His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 
 1	I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
  	Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
 3	presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
  	believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
  	tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
 6	looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
  	Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
  	I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
 9	Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
  	other Christian Science literature for a year. After
  	studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
12	day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
  	no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
  	perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
15	Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
  	ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
  	can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
18	and had for several years been obliged to use special
  	glasses when reading or working, and could never use
  	my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
21	reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
  	in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
  	est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
24	cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
  	that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
  	rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
27	Ireland. 

There are no astrological laws for the only laws are the laws of God, the laws of good. There are no planetary influences, all the planets are spiritual, ministering to  man and benefiting man. There are no material vibrations indicated by the position of planets, for all is spiritual and perfect; the only law is the law of good, through which God's perfect ideas continually unfold to man, benefiting man and ministering to man. 

There are no empty spaces, divine Mind anti its manifestation exist everywhere. Wherever Mind is; consciousness is; wherever God is, man is. There are no idle ideas (the chairs), all  God's ideas are continually ministering to and benefiting man. Man is always in the right place in Mind, in God; he loves Truth, rejoices in Truth, and knows where to get Truth, for God is Truth and man is God's consciousness, knowing everything he needs instantly.

See CONCENTRATION

There is no lack of attention, the children of Mind arc joyously alert, always ready to receive and enjoy the treasures which Mind unfolds to them. Man is spiritual, being  God's consciousness; he immediately and thoroughly grasps every idea of God which comes to him, and utilises the ideas ~o the utmost, for man is spidtual and perfect, governed by God and by God alone.

Attraction - Contemplative factors.

MARY BAKER EDDY begins the textbook with three quotations which could be used very productively in determining exactly how to approach  the topic of what contemplative factors we should be considering.

1. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ~ John viii 32


CHRIST JESUS makes some very vivid statements about what we should be free from. 


DON't PILE UP TREASURES on earth where moth and rust can spoil them, and thieves can break in and steal. But keep your treasure in heaven, where there is neither moth nor rust to spoil it, and nobody can break in and steal. For where your treasure is, you may be certain that your heart will be there too. No one can be loyal to two masters. He is bound to hate one and love the other. You cannot serve God and the power of money at the same time. ~ JB Phillips Bible Matthew Chpt 6 ... Please CLICK media for complete details

09/08/2020 - Attraction ~ Mind Natural 

Man, God's consciousness, reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge, and does perfect work grouping together God's ideas into perfect combinations -and re-presenting them to his fellow man. When man writes,  God writes, God writes by means of man. (Then work as in Composition under the heading of MUSIC.) 

There is no auto-intoxication, for man is spiritual and perfect. (Then work against germs, indigestion, poisoning of the blood, and IIny symptoms suc~ as high temperature or pain, and work  for circulation of the blood. It is believed often to come from constipation or decayed teeth which tnay be required to be worked against). 

There are no accidents, for God's ideas are always poised in Mind, always in the right place nothing ever can be out of order, for God's ideas reflect God, the  Principle of all law and order. There are no breakages, for God's ideas reflect substance, and are permanent and perfect. God's ideas are never worn out, they reflect entity and are always the same, ministering to man and benefiting man. Not one of God's ideas is ever lacking, there is always everything that is needed; all the ideas work perfectly and harmoniously together, ministering to and benefiting man continually. There is no difficulty in starting any of God's ideas, for they are always active, always doing their work properly, benefiting man, Not one of God's ideas is too slow, each always reflects Mind and is ('ver active, ever energetic, working continually with unfailing regularity and ease. Man moves instantly from idea to idea and is always in the right place, in Mind, in God.

See ACCIDENTS

There is no awkwardness, for man is spiritual and perfect, always doing and saying the right thing at the right time, for man is divine, governed by God, the Principle  of all law and order, always passing on God's ideas perfectly. When man speaks and acts, God speaks and acts, for God works by means of man, who is God's consciousness, doing everything perfectly and divinely, in the right way and at the right time. (If necessary work against self-consciousness).

GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 

  	    In the year 1901, Christian Science found me a hope-
30	less invalid. I had suffered for seven years previous with
   	a very painful back, the result of an operation. I could
 1	get no rest or sleep at night, as I could not lie down, but
  	had to sit propped in a chair with pillows around me. 
 3	Only those who have suffered as I did can know the full
  	misery of it. I had come to the end of material means
  	and never hoped to get well. One day, however, while
 6	out walking, it was my good fortune to come to a Christian
  	Scientist's house, and there the teaching was explained
  	to me. I was advised to buy Science and Health, which
 9	I did, and the study of this book has healed my back en-
  	tirely. Christian Science has also cured me of long-
  	standing catarrh of the throat, and neuralgia with which
12	I had been afflicted from childhood. Before coming into
  	Science I had doctored with three of the best physicians
  	in Seattle, but none could give me relief. 
15	    I am no longer a sufferer, but rejoice exceedingly in
  	Christian Science. God's promise has been fulfilled to
  	me, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
18	righteousness arise with healing in his wings." — E. O.,
  	Georgetown, Wash. 

27	                   AFTER TWENTY YEARS' SUFFERING 

  	    From  early girlhood I was considered an invalid, hav-
  	ing been injured by a hard fall while playing. The pain
30	was intense for some time and for several hours I was un-
 1	able to walk or stand alone. Later, a growing weakness
  	of the back accompanied with sharp pains alarmed my
 3	parents, who called a physician, and he pronounced it
  	spinal trouble. Then followed nearly twenty years of
  	increased suffering, at times very severe. As years went
 6	by and I became a wife and mother, my suffering in-
  	creased. Everything that medical skill could do was
  	done, but finding no lasting benefit from anything, I lost
 9	hope of recovery. 
  	    When Christian Science found me I was under the
  	doctor's sentence that if I lived the week through I would
12	become entirely helpless, not able to move hand or foot. 
  	My husband was a travelling man, and being urgently
  	called home, he met an old friend on the train who asked
15	why we did not try Christian Science. The reply, We
  	know nothing of it, was followed by a brief explanation
  	of its healing power and the benefit his family had re-
18	ceived. This inspired my husband with new hope, and
  	on his arrival at home he called on a practitioner, who
  	recommended our getting Science and Health, which we
21	did, but ignorance and the prejudice of old education
  	produced such fear that I hid the book under the covers
  	of the bed whenever the children came into the room,
24	fearing that it was not of God and would injure them. 
  	God's dear love was, however, more potent than these
  	foolish fears, and the first day I read from its sacred pages
27	I was convinced its teachings were the same truths as
  	Jesus Christ had taught centuries ago. When I had read
  	a few pages, I reached out and threw my medicine from the
30	open window at the head of my bed. I then turned back to
  	the book and began reading again, when, lo, the Christ-idea
  	dawned upon me, and I was healed instantaneously. 
 1	    I first noticed the spot in my back cooling, and soon
  	I got out of bed. I continued to read eagerly; I felt as
 3	if I wanted to devour the healing truth, and drank it in
  	as a thirsty plant does the gentle rain. When dinner was
  	prepared, I walked out and ate a hearty meal with the
 6	family, to the amazement of all. We shall never forget
  	what a joyful meal this was. How we did thank God
  	for Christian Science! 
 9	    As year after year has gone by, till twenty years have
  	passed and the healing has remained perfect, I have
  	grown to thank God with deeper sincerity that one brave
12	woman was found pure enough to bring forth this Christ-
  	healing again, to remain forever among men and to save
  	suffering humanity from all disease and sin. — Mrs.

HEALED OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE 

30	    August 18, 1902, I was taken down with what three
  	doctors pronounced Bright's disease, and they stated
 1	that I would not  live a year, or if I did succeed in liv-
  	ing longer, I would be mentally unbalanced. On De-
 3	cember 6, 1902, my wife presented me with Science and
  	Health as a birthday gift, and it was indeed the
  	best present I ever received. Since that time I
 6	have been reading it and attending Second Church
  	here. I have not used any medicine since, nor has any
  	one in our home. I am in the finest of health and have
 9	lost all my bad habits. This truth has brought a great
  	spiritual uplifting to all of us, and words cannot express
  	my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to all who have helped
12	me to the same. — T. V., Chicago, Ill.

FREED FROM MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING 

15	    In the spring of 1880 I was taken down with a severe
  	attack of stomach trouble, was bedfast for  three months,
  	and not able to drive out for nearly six months. During
18	this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained
  	a little in strength, but had very little relief from the
  	stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral
21	springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I
  	went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre-
  	vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent
24	medicines, but no healing came. 
  	    I worried along in this way for several years. Finally
  	I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor
27	friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this
  	time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for
  	fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought
30	life was not really worth living. In connection with these
 1	troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and
  	the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called
 3	cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly
  	all the time, and this growth had made such progress
  	that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read-
 6	ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of
  	them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried
  	every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists
 9	included, without relief. 
  	    Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis-
  	couraged condition and led me to the light that never
12	knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by
  	Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this
  	work. — D. W. L., Anderson, Ind. 

HEALED OF INFIDELITY AND MANY PHYSICAL ILLS 

 9	    I feel compelled to write my testimony and hope that
  	I may be accepted as one more  witness to the Truth as con-
  	tained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. 
12	    In the year 1883 I first heard of Christian Science. I
  	was sitting in a saloon in Leadville, Col., reading a daily
  	paper of that place. My eyes lighted upon an article
15	which spoke of some peculiar people in Boston who
  	claimed to have discovered how to heal as Jesus healed. 
  	I do not remember much of the article, but those words
18	stayed with me. 
  	    I had drifted out to Colorado from New York City (my
  	home), where I had been under the treatment of many
21	leading physicians. The last one, who was too honest
  	to take my money knowing that he could not cure me,
  	advised me to keep away from doctors and quit taking
24	medicine, as nothing but death could cure me. My
  	trouble was pronounced by some to be Bright's disease,
  	by others gravel on the kidneys with very acute inflam-
27	mation of the bladder and prostate gland. 
  	    In the spring of 1888 my wife and myself were spend-
  	ing the evening at the house of a gentleman whose wife
30	had been healed in the East by Christian Science. The
 1	gentleman took a book from its bookcase saying, "Here
  	is a work on Christian Science." It proved to be Science
 3	and Health. I knew as soon as I had read the title-page
  	that this was the very book we wanted. We immediately
  	sent for the book, and when it arrived we obeyed the angel
 6	and feasted on it. I was very much prejudiced against
  	the Bible, and my first demonstration over self was to
  	consent to read the four Gospels. My wife bought me a
 9	New Testament and I began to read it. What a change
  	came over me! All my prejudice was gone in an instant! 
  	When I read the Master's words, I caught his meaning
12	and the lesson he tried to convey. It was not difficult for
  	me to accept the whole Bible, for I could not help myself,
  	I was just captured. The disease with which I had been
15	troubled for years tormented me worse than ever for
  	about six months, as if trying to turn me aside; but I lost
  	all fear of it. 
18	    I kept up my study of Science and Health and the dis-
  	ease disappeared. I can honestly say that Science and
  	Health was my only healer, and it has been my only
21	teacher. — R. A. C., Los Angeles, Cal. 

A CASE OF MENTAL SURGERY 

24         I have felt for some time I should give my experience
	in mental surgery. In May, 1902,  going home for
  	lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a
27     rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling
	on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone
  	was broken about half-way between the shoulder and
30    elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust,
 1     declaring the truth and denying that there could
	be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love,
 3     until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he
  	thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a
        half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again
 6    and managed to reach it.  On arriving there I lay
  	down and asked my little boy to bring me our text-
	book. He immediately brought Science and Health,
 9     which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. 
  	    I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at-
	tended to some duties and was about half an hour late
12     in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time
  	from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not
	been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to
15     continue my work without having it set, and carrying it
  	in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence
	almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken,
18     until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's
  	office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma-
	chine. The physician was asked to examine my left
21     arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look-
  	ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but
	whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will
24     never have any further trouble from that break." My
  	friend then asked the doctor to show how he could
	tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed
27    out the place as being slightly thicker at that part,
  	like a piece of steel that had been welded. This
	was the first of several cases of mental surgery that
30    have come under my notice, and it made a deep
  	impression on me. 
 1	    For the benefit of others who may have something
  	similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost
 3	constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back
  	to my earliest recollection. — L. C. S., Salt Lake City,
  	Utah.

27	                        A TESTIMONY FROM SCOTLAND 

   	    I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing. 
  	I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev-
30	ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 
 1	I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion
  	aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power,
 3	and thought to put them in the place of God, with
  	the consequence that I was led to do many rash and
  	foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out-
 6	look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's
  	wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and
  	thankful to know my future is in His hands and that
 9	all things must work out for the best. I have found a
  	God whom I can love and worship with my whole
  	heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and
12	understanding. 
  	    I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read-
  	ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines,
15	also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me
  	that I would always suffer from this disease, as it
  	was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever
18	when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing
  	relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness
  	of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi-
21	cines I was taking and have never touched any since,
  	and that is more than two years ago. Before this I
  	had often tried to do without a medicine that I had
24	taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had
  	to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only
  	medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 
27	    I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks,
  	colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to
  	be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say,
30	I am quite free from all those material laws and go
  	out in all sorts of weather. — R. D. F., Edinburgh,
  	Scotland. 

PREJUDICE OVERCOME 

  	    I became interested in Christian Science somewhat
30	over three years ago when in much need of help. I
  	had never been strong,  and as I grew older I grew
 1	weaker and at last became so ill that life was a burden
  	to me. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was sent
 3	to me, in answer to prayer, as I thought. I was a little
  	afraid of all these new fads, as I thought them, but I
  	had not read far before I felt that I had found the truth
 6	which makes us free. I was healed of stomach trouble,
  	inward weakness, and bilious attacks. 
  	    One physician said I might have to undergo an opera-
 9	tion before I could get well, but, thanks to this Truth, I
  	have found that the only operation needed was the re-
  	generation of this so-called human mind by learning to
12	know God. In many cases I have been able to help
  	myself and others. 
  	    Words cannot express my thanks to Mrs. Eddy, and
15	to all who are bringing these great truths to the help of
  	the whole world. — E. E. M., Huntington, W. Va. 

INSANITY AND EPILEPSY HEALED 

          While an inmate of the State asylum for the insane at
 27	Middletown, Conn., an epileptic, and  at times confined to 
      my bed with bilious attacks, pronounced incurable by the 
      doctors (at least six in number), the book, Science  and 
 30	Health  with  Key  to  the  Scriptures, by Mrs. Eddy was
 1   placed in my hands.  After reading a few pages, I be-
     came very much impressed with the truth therein stated, 
 3   and although I was surrounded with opposition, I knew
     that “underneath are the everlasting arms.”  Since that
     time —- past the middle of the year 1899 —- I have kept
 6   pressing on, until I have been healed by reading Science
     and Health.   At times I was beset by what seemed un-
     conquerable opposition, until the first week in October,
 9   1904, when, upon going to my home in Darien for a visit,
     I was given my liberty, and I’m now earning my living
     in this city.   After having been subject to epileptic at-
12   tacks since 1892, and at one time pronounced dying
     by the doctor in charge, I am now well.  I have had no
     fit, or  symptoms of any, since the first week in May,
15   1904.
         I trust that this testimony to the healing power of Truth,
     realized by reading Science and Health (for I had no treat-
18    ment), may reach the eye of some to whom the battle
     seems long, and inspire them with fresh courage and a 
     realization of the worth of the victory. I am filled with
 21   inexpressible gratitude and love to God, and to Mrs. 
      Eddy. —- Mrs. B. B. C., Stamford, Conn.

There is no biliousness, for man is spiritual and perfect. There is no inaction of the liver, the liver is the reflection or knowledge of God as Truth, which enables  man to understand God's ideas. All God's ideas unfold in perfect order; idea working with idea in perfect harmony. (Treat against symptoms).

Unhesitating decision

To decide quickly as to the proper treatment of error whether error is manifested in forms of sickness, sin, or death is the  first step towards destroying error.

12/12/2022 -  Ascension involves letting go of the belief of life, truth, and intelligence in matter.

The false impression of birth being a material activity interferes with the true concept  of birth as stated in the Bible, Genesis chapter 1 where it states man is made in the image and likeness of God.

Jesus experienced a probationary period after resurrection which was then followed by ascension.

There arc no birthmarks, man is spiritual and divine; there are no marks on the skin, man's skin is the loving action of God which maintains and preserves man's individuality,  spiritual and perfect, pure and divine. 
There arc no dilated blood vessels, all God's channels arc spiritual and perfect. (Then work against matter, and for circulation of the blood).

There arc no bites, for all is spiritual. One idea of God can never harm another idea of God (if an insect bite), the lesser ideas of God never harm  the higher ideas of God, they minister to man and benefit man. (Work against poison and for circulation of the blood). (If bitten by 1111 animal) man can never be bitten by any idea of God, for man is spiritual. 
Man's Sesh can never be torn, it reflects entity and is always the same.
Man's muscles are never torn, they are God's thought forces, complete and perfect. Man's skin can never be torn, man's skin is the loving action of God which preserves man's individuality, reflecting substance, full, complete and perfect. (Work against poison in the blood, and for the circulation of the blood, and against symptoms such as pain and Joss of blood).

See RABIES

See NAIL BITING

Man is never bitter, man is spiritual and perfect and governed! by God. infinite Love. Man cannot be embittered, for man is the reflection of Love. reflecting only kindness, gentleness  and joy. receiving and re- presenting only thoughts of Love. All ideas are circulated and directed by the impulse of Love; man lives and moves and has his being in God, and God is Love. There is no bitterness, man is the reflection of and reflects divine Love. All are governed by the one Mind. God. and man continually reflects God. the Principle of all joy and harmony. and is absolutely joyous whenever he thinks of his fellow man. Nothing could ever have happened to make man bitter, all men are joyous in the recognition of their perfect surroundings, loving to assist their fellow man.

FREED FROM MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING 

15	    In the spring of 1880 I was taken down with a severe
  	attack of stomach trouble, was bedfast for  three months,
  	and not able to drive out for nearly six months. During
18	this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained
  	a little in strength, but had very little relief from the
  	stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral
21	springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I
  	went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre-
  	vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent
24	medicines, but no healing came. 
  	    I worried along in this way for several years. Finally
  	I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor
27	friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this
  	time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for
  	fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought
30	life was not really worth living. In connection with these
 1	troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and
  	the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called
 3	cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly
  	all the time, and this growth had made such progress
  	that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read-
 6	ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of
  	them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried
  	every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists
 9	included, without relief.

There is no blasphemy, for God is the only speaker and speaks by means of man. Only .God"s thoughts come to man, thoughts of Love and Truth. Man is the  knowledge of God and therefore can only think of and express Truth. The ideas which man re-presents can never shock his fellow man, as there are no thoughts but God's thoughts, God being the only' thinker; God's ideas are pure, perfect, divine and holy. 

Man's blood is never out of order, man's blood is the joy which circulates right throughout the consciousness, pure. perfect, divine and holy. The joy is never deficient, the ideas.  composing it are all perfectly proportioned, and pCtfect in quality, for the joy reflectS God, the Principle of all joy.

12	                    SEVERE EYE TROUBLE OVERCOME 

  	     After hearing Christian Science lightly spoken of,
  	from a Christian pulpit, I decided to go to one of the
15	services and hear for myself. From infancy I had
  	been devoted to my church, and as soon as I was old
  	enough I was ever active in the work. Feeling it to
18	be my duty to attend every service held in my own
  	church, I took advantage of the Wednesday evening
  	meetings. My first visit was not my last, I am thank-
21	ful to say, for I saw immediately that these people
  	not only preached Christianity, but practised and lived
  	it. At that time I was wearing glasses and had worn
24	them for sixteen years. At times I suffered the most
  	intense pain, and for this phase of the trouble, one
  	specialist after another had been consulted. All gave
27	me very much the same advice; each one urged ex-
  	treme carefulness and gave me glasses that seemed to
  	relieve for a time. None of them held out any hope
30	that my sight would ever be restored, saying that the
 1	defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should
  	be blind. 
 3	    The thought of blindness was very distressing to me,
  	but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since
  	I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since
 6	I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives
  	only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my
  	affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science and
 9	Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside. 
  	I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear
  	Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been re-
12	gained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind,
  	now I see" — through an understanding of Truth I
  	have found my sight perfect as God gave it. — Miss
15	B. S., Wilmington, N. C. 

HEREDITARY DISEASE OF THE LUNGS CURED 

  	    For a long time I have been impelled to contribute a
15	testimony of the healing power of Truth. As  I read
  	other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may
  	rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and
18	Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that
  	Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. 
  	    From childhood I had never known a well day. I
21	was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con-
  	sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and
  	three brothers having passed on with it. The law of
24	materia medica said that in a short time I must fol-
  	low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over
  	eight years' standing, during which time I always re-
27	tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my
  	food was so great that I denied myself food when hun-
  	gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble,
30	which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from
  1	the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated
  	an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that
 3	flesh is heir to:  I had trouble with my eyes from a child;
  	wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying
  	I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less
 6	than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I
  	refused to do. 
  	    But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through
 9	the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what
  	Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for
  	my children, my home, my all. The physical healing
12	is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting
  	is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been
  	told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. 

There is no high blood pressure, all 'is normal, as man's blood is the joy which circulates right throughout the consciousness, never pressing unduly on the arteries and veins, which  are ideas of God, working perfectly, ministering to man and benefiting man. (Work against nerves and over-exertion).

See HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES

There is no low blood pressure, man's blood is the joy which circulates right throughout the consciousness, full and complete, working perfectly, absolutely normal, giving man joy and happiness; Love  is the power which causes that joy to circulate, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. (Work against any symptoms such as faintness, dizziness and weakness).

There is no want of circulation of the: bloud, man's blood is the juy which circulates with unfailing regularity and ease right throughout the consciousness, for God is the Principle  of all law and order. Love is the power that causes that joy to circulate, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. All ideas reflect Mind and Mind is the source of infinite activity. 

See CLOT

There is no loss of blood, man's blood is the joy that circulates though- out the consciousness, and that joy is always in the right place, ministering to man. Man  can never lose anything .. God's ideas are always in the right place, benefiting man. Man's blood vessels can never be cut, or burst, they reflect entity and are eternally perfect. (Also work against weakness and for circulation of the blood). 

HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my  room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,

Belief of abnormal growth on the body.

How to heal it?

What is the real meaning of  body?

There are no boils, for man is spiritual and perfect. There is no poison in the system, all is purity. Man's blood is never impure, man's blood is the joy  which circulates right throughout the consciousness; that joy is spiritual, perfect, divine, pure, and holy. (Work. against inflammation, and poison in the blood, and for circulation of the blood; also against germs, irritation and symptoms such as pain and high temperature).

A CASE OF MENTAL SURGERY 

24         I have felt for some time I should give my experience
	in mental surgery. In May, 1902,  going home for
  	lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a
27     rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling
	on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone
  	was broken about half-way between the shoulder and
30    elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust,
 1     declaring the truth and denying that there could
	be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love,
 3     until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he
  	thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a
        half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again
 6    and managed to reach it.  On arriving there I lay
  	down and asked my little boy to bring me our text-
	book. He immediately brought Science and Health,
 9     which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. 
  	    I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at-
	tended to some duties and was about half an hour late
12     in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time
  	from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not
	been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to
15     continue my work without having it set, and carrying it
  	in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence
	almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken,
18     until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's
  	office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma-
	chine. The physician was asked to examine my left
21     arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look-
  	ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but
	whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will
24     never have any further trouble from that break." My
  	friend then asked the doctor to show how he could
	tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed
27    out the place as being slightly thicker at that part,
  	like a piece of steel that had been welded. This
	was the first of several cases of mental surgery that
30    have come under my notice, and it made a deep
  	impression on me. 
 1	    For the benefit of others who may have something
  	similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost
 3	constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back
  	to my earliest recollection. — L. C. S., Salt Lake City,

Soul ~ Spiritual Identity 


Does it include spiritual seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling?

Man is never bored, for man is the consciousness of God, whose ideas unfold in perfect sequence and are re-presented by man in perfect sequence. Man delights in receiving and  re-presenting these ideas, each of which brings man delight and joy. Man, God's consciousness, "wails upon" God, and "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles" (Isa. 40 : 31). 

1	                    CURING BETTER THAN ENDURING 

  	     For eight years I was a great sufferer from weak
 3	lungs and after being treated by ten different physi-
  	cians, in the States of Illinois, Missouri, and Colo-
  	rado, I was told there was no hope of my recovery
 6	from what they pronounced tuberculosis, which was
  	hereditary, my father having been afflicted with it. I
  	was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 
 9	My general condition was aggravated by what the doc-
  	tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi-
  	cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured
12	my husband that I could never get more than tem-
  	porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain,
  	in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was
15	nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of
  	doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For
  	four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels,
18	and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow-
  	erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering,
  	that any action whatever could be brought about. 
21	    I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris-
  	tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one
  	night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week
24	testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much
  	impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once
  	to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it
27	might have something good for me. I bought the text-
  	book, Science and Health, and from the first I found
  	myself growing stronger and better, both physically and
30	mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en-
  	deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week
 1	I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for
  	years with them, and before three months had passed I
 3	was better than I had been any time in my life, for I
  	had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. 
  	Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and
 6	rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now
  	sound, my bowels normally active, my general health
  	excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue
 9	tasks that before would have prostrated me. The
  	study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. 
  	 — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. 

1	              SCIENCE AND HEALTH A PRICELESS BOON 

  	    I am a willing  witness to the healing power of Chris-
 3	tian Science, having had a lifetime's battle with dis-
  	ease and medical experiments. Various doctors finally
  	admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and
 6	could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was
  	impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent
  	sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal
 9	career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant
  	type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of
  	this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis-
12	dom of men, for while studying Science and Health
  	two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and
  	perfect health was shown to me to be my real con-
15	dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant
  	use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to
  	me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid
18	aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never-
  	failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation
  	"the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and
21	mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr-
  	anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed
  	leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible
24	and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con-
  	sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C.,
             Manatee, Fla.

God's ideas are never broken, they are spiritual and perfect; they reflect substance and are full and complete, reflecting entity, always the same. No man can ever damage an idea  of God, man is God's conscious- ness, by means of which God thinks and acts; the higher ideas protect the lower ideas, and the lower ideas minister perfectly to the higher ideas. There is no breakage in the continuity of God's ideas, they unfold with unfailing regularity to man, perfect and complete. God's ideas come to man with perfect sequence and are re-presented with perfect sequence. 

There is no bad breath, man's breath is the coming and going of God's ideas, and these ideas are spiritual and perfect, giving man joy and happiness. All these ideas  reflect every aspect and quality of God; they manifest Spirit, the Principle of purity and holiness. There are no unpleasant chemical reactions, for all is spiritual, governed by God. (Then work against what is believed to be the cause of the bad breath, such as germ action in sinuses connected with the nose, called catarrh, indigestion, acidity, or poison in the system).

FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE AND JOY 

  	    I have often had a desire to make public what Chris-
18	tian Science has done for me, but I  never could tell of
  	all my blessings, they are so many. From childhood
  	I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was
21	under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in
  	the East at that time, and was advised to try change of
  	climate, which I did. I came West with my family in
24	the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I
  	grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep
  	my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My
27	ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and
  	were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis-
  	ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was
30	known among physicians, many of whom were prominent
 1	specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking
  	at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head
 3	and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who
  	were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their
  	power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was
 6	pronounced on me by all who attended me. 
  	    It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's
  	opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this
 9	hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal
  	me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it,
  	read it again, and soon found myself growing stronger;
12	then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the
  	supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn. 

HEALED OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE 

30	    August 18, 1902, I was taken down with what three
  	doctors pronounced Bright's disease, and they stated
 1	that I would not  live a year, or if I did succeed in liv-
  	ing longer, I would be mentally unbalanced. On De-
 3	cember 6, 1902, my wife presented me with Science and
  	Health as a birthday gift, and it was indeed the
  	best present I ever received. Since that time I
 6	have been reading it and attending Second Church
  	here. I have not used any medicine since, nor has any
  	one in our home. I am in the finest of health and have
 9	lost all my bad habits. This truth has brought a great
  	spiritual uplifting to all of us, and words cannot express
  	my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to all who have helped
12	me to the same. — T. V., Chicago, Ill. 

Man is ever active and ever energetic, for he reflects Mind and is the brightness of Mind; he is always passing on God's ideas to his fellow man, giving him  joy and happiness. "Aillhe lonl oj God IDolitedfor joy" Gob 38 : 7). Man is absolutely JOYous, and in manifesting the light which is God, he i~ continually bright and happy; "in thy prmnGt it JII/ntll oj joy" (ps. 16 : I I). "God my exmdingjoy" (Ps. 43 : 4).

HEALED OF RHEUMATISM AND BRIGHT'S DISEASE 

21	    I am very thankful to God for what He has done for
  	me. I was suddenly left alone, with  many troubles
  	and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I
24	was trying to understand it, prior to joining some
  	church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I
  	had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood
27	up, but never could find any that met my need. As
  	time passed on, my condition became very alarming. 
  	Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some
30	years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 
 1	Then there appeared some complications, so distressing
  	that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre-
 3	quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — 
  	such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer-
  	ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very
 6	near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it
  	now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro-
  	bation, and I would be dead before that. 
 9	    About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in
  	reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to
  	that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had
12	been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth
  	and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science
  	and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find
15	out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then to live long. 
  	I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and
  	Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be
18	saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged
  	me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and
  	praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where
21	had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science
  	and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl-
  	edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do
24	everything, that He made everything that was made,
  	that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed
  	me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles-
27	ton, Ill. 

HEALED OF INFIDELITY AND MANY PHYSICAL ILLS 

 9	    I feel compelled to write my testimony and hope that
  	I may be accepted as one more  witness to the Truth as con-
  	tained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. 
12	    In the year 1883 I first heard of Christian Science. I
  	was sitting in a saloon in Leadville, Col., reading a daily
  	paper of that place. My eyes lighted upon an article
15	which spoke of some peculiar people in Boston who
  	claimed to have discovered how to heal as Jesus healed. 
  	I do not remember much of the article, but those words
18	stayed with me. 
  	    I had drifted out to Colorado from New York City (my
  	home), where I had been under the treatment of many
21	leading physicians. The last one, who was too honest
  	to take my money knowing that he could not cure me,
  	advised me to keep away from doctors and quit taking
24	medicine, as nothing but death could cure me. My
  	trouble was pronounced by some to be Bright's disease,
  	by others gravel on the kidneys with very acute inflam-
27	mation of the bladder and prostate gland. 
  	    In the spring of 1888 my wife and myself were spend-
  	ing the evening at the house of a gentleman whose wife
30	had been healed in the East by Christian Science. The
 1	gentleman took a book from its bookcase saying, "Here
  	is a work on Christian Science." It proved to be Science
 3	and Health. I knew as soon as I had read the title-page
  	that this was the very book we wanted. We immediately
  	sent for the book, and when it arrived we obeyed the angel
 6	and feasted on it. I was very much prejudiced against
  	the Bible, and my first demonstration over self was to
  	consent to read the four Gospels. My wife bought me a
 9	New Testament and I began to read it. What a change
  	came over me! All my prejudice was gone in an instant! 
  	When I read the Master's words, I caught his meaning
12	and the lesson he tried to convey. It was not difficult for
  	me to accept the whole Bible, for I could not help myself,
  	I was just captured. The disease with which I had been
15	troubled for years tormented me worse than ever for
  	about six months, as if trying to turn me aside; but I lost
  	all fear of it. 
18	    I kept up my study of Science and Health and the dis-
  	ease disappeared. I can honestly say that Science and
  	Health was my only healer, and it has been my only
21	teacher. — R. A. C., Los Angeles, Cal. 

The ideas which come to man are never limited, they are infinite ideas of infinite variety. Man is never narrow minded, he loves to receive and utilise the ideas of  God, grouping them perfectly into new combinations, which he re-presents and which radiate out in infinite Mind, and are of infinite value to man. There is 110 limit to man's knowledge, he has the Christ capacity to know any idea of God. Infinite Love is God and God is infinite intelligence; man reflecting Love is perfect in know- ledge, for "toe Lord giveth wiraom,' 0111 of hil mOlllh romelh Mow/tall and lm3trtlanding" (Prov. z : 6). 

There is no broken bone, man's bones are spiritual, reflecting substance, which gives permanence to every idea; all ideas of God are permanent and perfect. It never happened, for all  is spiritual. Man never fell (01 whatever the trouble is due to), he always was'pois~d in Mind, spiritual and perfect. (Then work for circulation of the blood and against any symptoms necessary, such as tom muscles, arteries and veins, pain, and high temperature). 

Man's skin is never broken, man's skin is the loving action of God, which preserves and maintains man's individuality; it never was injured, it reflects substance and is full and  complete (preventing the infinite ideas which constitute his body from being mixed with those which constitute the body of other spiritual beings).

There is no bronchitis, for man is spiritual and perfect; man's bronchial tubes are never affected, they arc channels in consciousness, spiritual and perfect. There is no tightness, nor feeling  of pressure, because everything is in its place, working perfectly. There is no inflammation of the mucous membrane, man's mucous membrane is the tender, loving action of God which preserves and maintains man's individuality, spiritual, perfect, pure and holy. (Then work against inflammation and poison and for circulation of the blood. Also against symptoms, such as cough and expectoration).

12	                    SUBSTANCE OF LUNGS RESTORED 

  	     It was about fifteen years ago that Christian Science
  	first came to my notice. At that time I had been a chronic
15	invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel
  	trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One
  	physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper,
18	ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as
  	my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic-
  	tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and
21	every material remedy that promised help, but no help
  	came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci-
  	ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands
24	by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told
  	that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com-
  	menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau-
27	tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and
  	healed me of all those diseases, and they have never
  	returned. 
30	    I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained
 1	ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all
  	that day and during the night I gave myself Christian
 3	Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning
  	it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen,
  	and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could,
 6	I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of
  	Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I
  	became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about
 9	my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had
  	a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the
  	time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two
12	hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. 
  	When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt-
  	ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue
15	appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. 
  	It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and
  	"present with the Lord." This experience was worth
18	a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is
  	done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. 

TRUTH MAKES FREE 

15	    As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy,
  	and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what
  	I  thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half
18	years ago, however, having exhausted all material means
  	at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym-
  	nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless
21	state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I
  	had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over
  	thirty years, and in the last five were added several others,
24	including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of
  	sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained
  	health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under-
27	standing of Christian Science, the result of about six
  	weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me
  	through the careful and prayerful study of Christian
30	Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science
 1	and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth
  	shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years
 3	of health and harmony have been spent in striving to
  	"hold fast that which is good." 
  	    While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati-
 6	tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond
  	expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal-
  	ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay
 9	upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un-
  	bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it
  	seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the
12	price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every
  	thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the
  	proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation
15	and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are
  	demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day,
  	and forever." — C. N. C., Memphis, Tenn. 

Man can never bully, for he is always helping and benefiting his fellow man. The strength of man is the strength of God, and His strength is manifested in innnite  gentleness. "Thy genlanw hath math m4 greal" (ps. IS : 35). Truth is supreme and maintain~ universal harmony, the manifest- ation of God, thc Principle of all harmony. (Work for love).

There are no bunions, all is spiritual, divine and perfect. Man's feet are the power of concentration, God's own power of thinking of Himself and of His ideas. There is  no want of circulation in the blood, man's blood is the joy that circulates right throughout the cohsciousness. There is no impurity in the blood, man's blood is the joy, absolutely pure, perfect and divine, circulating with perfect freedom throughout consciousness; Love is the power of causing the joy to circulate, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. There is no hardened skin, the skin is God's loving action of preserving and maintaining man's individuality. 
This preservation of man's individuality can never be impaired, but remains perfect in its eternal integrity. There is no growth, all is purity ; no matter, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. There is no difficulty in walking, man moves with absolute freedom from idea to idea. Man's activity is the activity of God, unlaboured, harmonious and unfettered. There are no material nerves, for man's nerves are spiritual, channels in consciousness through which God's ideas pass, never giving pain, but giving man joy and happiness. There is no stagnation of God's ideas, God's ideas circulate perfectly and harmoniously because they are governed by God, the Principle of all law and order. All of God's ideas are equally serviceable in conscious- ness, delighting man. (See CORNS). (Treat against matter and against pain jf necessary). 

RUPTURE AND OTHER SERIOUS ILLS HEALED 

  	    When I took up the study of Christian Science
27	nearly three years ago, I was suffering from a very
   	bad rupture of thirty-two years' standing. Sometimes
  	the pain was so severe that it seemed as if I could not
30	endure it. These spells would last four or five hours,
 1	and while everything was done for me that could be
  	done, no permanent relief came to me until I com-
 3	menced reading Science and Health with Key to the
  	Scriptures. After I had once looked into it I wanted to
  	read all the time. I was so absorbed in the study of
 6	the "little book" that I hardly realized when the healing
  	came, but I was healed, not only of the rupture, but also
  	of other troubles, — inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh,
 9	corns, and bunions. 
  	    I would never part with the book if I could not get
  	another. I am seventy-seven years old, and am enjoy-
12	ing very good health. — Mrs. M. E. P., St. Johnsbury, Vt. 

BORN AGAIN 

  	    It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still,
21	small voice" of the Christ and received healing through
  	Christian Science;  and the blessings have been so
  	many since, that it would take too much space to
24	name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual
  	atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an
  	orthodox minister of the old school for forty years,
27	and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the
  	truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to
  	study into the meaning of life, and came to the con-
30	clusion before I was twenty that though God probably
 1	existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to
  	connect Him with my present living. My highest
 3	creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right
  	and not for fear of being punished." Then began the
  	suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other
 6	in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no
  	rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no
  	turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by
 9	me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave
  	way, and with that went my last hope. But the last
  	hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at
12	hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my
  	piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by
  	reading it. 
15	    Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I
  	opened the "little book" and began to read. I had
  	read only a short time when such a wonderful trans-
18	formation took place! I was renewed; born again. 
  	Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up-
  	lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 
21	When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but
  	before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing
  	all my housework and doing it easily; and since that
24	glorious day I have been a well woman. My health
  	is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine
  	that others may be led to the truth. There have been
27	some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned
  	that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or
  	easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and
30	the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and
  	persistent. 
  	    For a long time I was always looking back to see if
 1	the error had gone, until one day when I realized
  	that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means
 3	I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to
  	work in earnest to find the true way. I opened
  	Science and Health and these words were before me,
 6	"If God were understood, instead of being merely be-
  	lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). 
  	I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 
 9	I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I
  	waited with longing intensity for some answer. How
  	long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won-
12	derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly
  	this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I
  	held my breath — deep into my hungering thought
15	sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self-
  	conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes
  	the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as
18	it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con-
  	vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others
  	who have had similar experiences will understand. 
21	    From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness
  	of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good.
  	 — C. B. G., Hudson, Mass. 

There are no burst pipes, every idea is in Mind, perfect, full and complete, having entity, reflecting substance, ministering to man. 
No idea of man can fail to do its  duty, for all are governed by God, the Principle of good. God's ideas can never be out of their place, they are always in the right place, ministering to man. 

Man's business is spiritual and perfect, the receiving and continuously re-presenting of God's ideas to his fellow man, giving him joy and happiness thereby. :Man groups together these ideas into  perfect com- binations which radiate out in infinite Mind, giving infinite joy and happiness. Nothing can stop this action, it is the action of God, the unfolding, receiving and re-presenting of God's perfect ideas. God is the Principle of all law and order, and these ideas come and go with unfailing regularity and ease. There are no mistakes, man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge, he does everything perfectly, passing on God's ideas at the right time and in the right way. Man does perfect work, manifesting wisdom and power, for man is the wisdom of God and the power of God, spiritual, perfect and divine. There arc no difficulties, for God is the only power and the only ruler. Man is always helping and benefiting his fellow man, for God is Love, and all ml.n are loving.

27	                            AN EVER-PRESENT  HELP 

  	    It is a year since I began to read Science and Health,
  	and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its
30	teachings has done for me. 
 1	    My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which
  	had caused me much trouble since childhood, were
 3	very painful. For these I had been treated by some
  	of the best specialists in my native land, and after
  	coming to the United States I had been doctored
 6	much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had
  	catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without
  	being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive
 9	smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. 
  	I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors
  	freely. 
12	    The one who brought to me that which I now prize
  	so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should
  	be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 
15	He then told me of having been healed of a cancer,
  	through Christian Science treatment. He showed me
  	a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of
18	much use, and after being assured that if I did my part
  	I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of
  	the book. 
21	    My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the
  	book only three weeks I was completely healed of the
  	tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing,
24	that it did not require even as much as a resolution
  	on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading
  	Science and Health, when all the desire to continue
27	smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use
  	tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the
  	next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge
30	gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go
  	about my work with ease, and I have had no more
  	use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh
 1	has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the
  	use of liquor. 
 3	    Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present
  	help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in
  	business and daily life. It has also overcome a great
 6	sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with
  	suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has
  	become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science
 9	textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and
  	has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of
  	harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. 

There is a perfect law of supply and demand; when man needs an idea, he knows where to get it, when he desires to pass on an idea, he knows  where to pass it; for God is the Principle of aU knowledge, and man knows everything he needs instantly. Love is the power which causes the ideas to circulate in Mind and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. Man docs perfect work, reflecting divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge; he knows instantly everything necessary for him. 
God is Truth, and man knows Truth, and understands Truth, for man is God's consciousness. Not one of God's ideas is ever hidden, they minister to man and benefit man; all the ideas which man can.need constantly unfold to him with perfect sequence and in perfect combina- tions, and man is always receiving and rejoicing in these ideas, re-present- ing them to his fellow man, receiving ideas in exchange. There is no fear, man has absolute trust in God, trust in good, and trust in man; there are infinite ideas available to man instantly, God is Love, and man reflects that Love, and is always loving his fellow man. God is the Principle of justice, and therefore man is absolutely just, always giving in return to his fellow man what is right and just.

CANCER AND CONSUMPTION HEALED 

  	    I was a great sufferer for many years from internal
30	cancer and consumption. I was treated by the best of
 1	physicians  in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and
  	was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris-
 3	tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con-
  	sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs.
  	Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three
 6	months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by
  	this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases,
  	but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been
 9	in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have
  	had many good demonstrations during this time, have
  	passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth
12	has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and
  	God was with me. 
  	    I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth
15	which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may
  	help some sister who is looking through the Journal for
  	a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby
18	came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework
  	up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. 
  	I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at
21	half past five baby was born, no one being present but
  	my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the
  	rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new
24	baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I
  	ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining-
  	room. I was out on the porch the second day, around
27	the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well
  	ever since, which has been now over three years. To
  	one who had previously passed through agony untold,
30	with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. 
  	I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth,
  	and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved
1	Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures."
  	 — E. C. C., Lewiston, Idaho. 

Man never lost any of his capital, as man's capital consists of the infinite idcas of God which are always available, and man has the Christ capacity, the capacity instantly  to know any idea of God. All needful ideas unfold to man continually; man receives these ideas and re-presents them with unfailing regularity and ease, continually recei'Ving ideas in exchange. There is no want of reserves, there are infinite ideas in Mind available to man instantly, and man has instantly everything he needs. "II il the all-hearing and all-knowing Mind, 10 whom eath need of mon il alwayt knollln and I!J whom it will be supplied" (S. & H. p. 7).

There is no carelessness, for man is always doing the right thing at the right time. Man docs perfect work, for when man works, God works, God works by means  of man. Man is God's consciousness, by means of which God thinks and acts and knows. God's ideas unfold to man in per-' feet sequence, and are re-presented by him in perfect sequence. God is the Principle of all law and all order, therefore man is governed by la\~ and by order. All man's work is a labour of Love, he does everything 10 the glory of God, with infinite care, as man is governed by God, the Principle of good. God rules and governs, and there is no power other than that of God.

6	                          CATARACT QUICKLY CURED 

   	    I wish to add my testimony to those of others, and
  	hope that it may be the means of bringing some poor
 9	sufferer to health, to happiness, and to God. I was
  	healed through simply reading this wonderful book,
  	Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically
12	for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many
  	doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They
  	told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and
15	that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in
  	an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later
  	on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors
18	as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually
  	becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few
  	minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 
21	I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use
  	them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable
  	because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A
24	dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said
  	that if I would read Science and Health it would help
  	me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The
27	first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot
  	all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was
  	eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this
30	book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately
  	after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really
 1	the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife
  	noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away
 3	my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and
  	through the understanding gained by studying Christian
  	Science I have been able to do away with my indoor
 6	glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes
  	since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S.,
  	Liverpool, England. 

FREED FROM MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING 

15	    In the spring of 1880 I was taken down with a severe
  	attack of stomach trouble, was bedfast for  three months,
  	and not able to drive out for nearly six months. During
18	this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained
  	a little in strength, but had very little relief from the
  	stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral
21	springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I
  	went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre-
  	vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent
24	medicines, but no healing came. 
  	    I worried along in this way for several years. Finally
  	I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor
27	friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this
  	time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for
  	fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought
30	life was not really worth living. In connection with these
 1	troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and
  	the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called
 3	cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly
  	all the time, and this growth had made such progress
  	that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read-
 6	ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of
  	them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried
  	every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists
 9	included, without relief. 
  	    Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis-
  	couraged condition and led me to the light that never
12	knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by
  	Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this
  	work. — D. W. L., Anderson, Ind. 

18	                           RELIEF FROM MANY  ILLS 

  	    Paul said, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your
  	mind." In my own case deafness has been overcome by
21	an enlarged understanding of God's word, as explained
  	by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health. Many times I
  	have been enabled to turn to God, to know it was His
24	will to help in trouble, and obtained the needed benefit. 
  	Catarrh has disappeared; tonsilitis, which very frequently
  	laid me aside from duties in the schoolroom and home,
27	is no longer manifest. When temptation comes (for
  	Christian Science is both preventive and curative), I turn
  	to that wonderful book, Science and Health, and my
30	precious Bible, grown dearer since read in the new light
 1	of spiritual understanding, until I know that my mind is
  	renewed, because the action is changed and the inflam-
 3	mation has abated. 
  	    Thus in my experience in Christian Science, I have seen
  	the transformation begun, and Truth is able to perfect
 6	that which is begun in me so gloriously. — Mrs. C. A.
            McL., Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. 

TRUTH MAKES FREE 

15	    As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy,
  	and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what
  	I  thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half
18	years ago, however, having exhausted all material means
  	at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym-
  	nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless
21	state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I
  	had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over
  	thirty years, and in the last five were added several others,
24	including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of
  	sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained
  	health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under-
27	standing of Christian Science, the result of about six
  	weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me
  	through the careful and prayerful study of Christian
30	Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science
 1	and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth
  	shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years
 3	of health and harmony have been spent in striving to
  	"hold fast that which is good." 
  	    While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati-
 6	tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond
  	expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal-
  	ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay
 9	upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un-
  	bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it
  	seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the
12	price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every
  	thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the
  	proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation
15	and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are
  	demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day,
  	and forever." — C. N. C., Memphis, Tenn. 

RUPTURE AND OTHER SERIOUS ILLS HEALED 

  	    When I took up the study of Christian Science
27	nearly three years ago, I was suffering from a very
   	bad rupture of thirty-two years' standing. Sometimes
  	the pain was so severe that it seemed as if I could not
30	endure it. These spells would last four or five hours,
 1	and while everything was done for me that could be
  	done, no permanent relief came to me until I com-
 3	menced reading Science and Health with Key to the
  	Scriptures. After I had once looked into it I wanted to
  	read all the time. I was so absorbed in the study of
 6	the "little book" that I hardly realized when the healing
  	came, but I was healed, not only of the rupture, but also
  	of other troubles, — inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh,
 9	corns, and bunions. 
  	    I would never part with the book if I could not get
  	another. I am seventy-seven years old, and am enjoy-
12	ing very good health. — Mrs. M. E. P., St. Johnsbury, Vt. 

27	                            AN EVER-PRESENT  HELP 

  	    It is a year since I began to read Science and Health,
  	and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its
30	teachings has done for me. 
 1	    My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which
  	had caused me much trouble since childhood, were
 3	very painful. For these I had been treated by some
  	of the best specialists in my native land, and after
  	coming to the United States I had been doctored
 6	much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had
  	catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without
  	being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive
 9	smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. 
  	I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors
  	freely. 
12	    The one who brought to me that which I now prize
  	so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should
  	be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 
15	He then told me of having been healed of a cancer,

  	a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of
18	much use, and after being assured that if I did my part
  	I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of
  	the book. 
21	    My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the
  	book only three weeks I was completely healed of the
  	tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing,
24	that it did not require even as much as a resolution
  	on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading
  	Science and Health, when all the desire to continue
27	smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use
  	tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the
  	next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge
30	gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go
  	about my work with ease, and I have had no more
  	use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh
 1	has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the
  	use of liquor. 
 3	    Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present
  	help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in
  	business and daily life. It has also overcome a great
 6	sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with
  	suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has
  	become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science
 9	textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and
  	has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of
  	harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. 

LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS 

21	    I have received so much benefit from the testimonies
  	in the Sentinel and Journal that I send mine, hoping
  	it  may cheer some struggling heart. I was reared by
24	kind and loving Christian parents and was a member
  	of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was
  	never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down
27	by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov-
  	erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything
  	I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and
30	failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 
 1	My interest was first awakened to Christian Science
  	about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis-
 3	ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and
  	Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis,
  	and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian
 6	Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and
  	physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit-
  	ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both
 9	able and willing to care for His children, if we are but
  	willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though
  	it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 
12	Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has
  	enabled me to help others. 
  	    The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what
15	Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that
  	labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 
  	    My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the
18	work she has done and is still doing for the world, and
  	to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the
  	truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly.
21	 — Mrs. M. M., Chicago, Ill. 

18	                                DEAF EARS UNSTOPPED 

  	    As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and
  	gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call
21	our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me
  	and mine. 
  	    Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and
24	catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book,
  	Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted
  	and taken treatment from some of the best specialists
27	for the ear and throat, both in England and America,
  	but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady
  	who had been healed through Christian Science to buy
30	this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but
1	had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found
  	the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that
 3	time I have never had a return of the ailment. 
  	    That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the
  	daily help it is to me in my household of young chil-
 6	dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian
  	Science truly means they would give all they possess
  	to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and
 9	various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear
  	like dew before the morning sun, through the applica-
  	tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God
12	as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven
  	to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in
  	trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is
15	in the training of our children, and how quickly the child
  	grasps it. 
  	    Some time ago my little girl, then three years old,
18	dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at
  	the time. The pain was so intense that she became
  	faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept
21	holding the thought that just as soon as some one came
  	I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and
  	cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist
24	the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I
  	began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought,
  	What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac-
27	titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and
  	presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of
  	calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked
30	the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma,
  	read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her
  	from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed
 1	she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very
  	pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made
 3	an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time
  	I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth
  	before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her
 6	until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped
  	off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for-
  	got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she
 9	had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth-
  	book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. 
  	and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though
12	nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg,
  	Man. 

There is no catarrh, all is spiritual and perfect. There are no catarrhal germs, God's ideas continually minister to, and enrich man; there is no impurity, all is purity. There  is no over-action, God alone acts, and He controls all. There is no blockage, all God's channels are perfect channels through which the divine ideas freely flow. If catarrh of the nose, realise. that man's nose is a spiritual capacity, the capacity to follow a train of ideas, eternally perfect, and joy giving. (Work against symptoms, such as high temperature, inflammation and running at the nose). 
There arc no colds, for all is spiritual, perfect and divine. There is no infection, inan is spiritual, always in the right place at the right time. Nothing passes to man except God's ideas which help and benefit man, as they arc spiritual, perfect, divine, pure and holy. There are no medical laws of health and disease, only God's laws; God is the only power and only ruler. There is no material cause, the only cause is God, infinite good, and there is nothing but good, absolute good. There arc no chills, man lives and rejoices in the warmth of divine Love; man never feels chilled, he glows with Love, for he lives and moves and has his being in God.

FEATURES of EVIL

1. Grows in dark ~ Mushroom

2. Volcanic ~ Create false flag of chaos and blame it  on the innocent.

3. Accuses the innocent for what it is doing itself.

4. Degrades Character to mock what it is doing itself.

5. Uses Immorality as an enticement.
6. After Immoral acts, bribes the victims

7. Uses coercion and threats.
8. Mind Control on individuals & groups and universally.

9. Executes those who expose the corrupt activities of the organization

There is no change of life, for God is Life, "from everlasling 10 tverla "Iing" (PS.90 : 2), "the Jame yuterday, and 10 day, and for tiler" (Heb 13 :  8). Man is the reflection of God as Life, unchangeable and immortal. There is no matter, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. There are no material organs, each organ is a reflection of God, working perfectly, working divinely. There are n6 material laws of nature, for man's nature is wholly spiritual; no law that man must pass through a crisis, the one law is the law of God, man is governed by God and by God alone, whose Jaw means absolute peace, absolute harmony. There is no arrest of function, each idea of God is furnished with its individual function, which it exercises unceasingly and eternally, reflecting God continually. 
There is no disturbance, man lives and moves and has his being in God, the Principle of peace and calm; man is the consciousness of God, he is the very peace and the very calm of the eternal God. There is no power in one organ to upset the functions of other organs, God is the only power, and His control is the control of Love, producing perfect peace, perfect harmony and perfect vitality. Every idea of God works in com- plete harmony with every other idea, its activity is shown in perfect service, for it is the activity of Love. There is no change of life, Life is "lIMbmtg6abk and eltr1ll1l" (S. & H. p. 120). There is no profound change in man's being, "All beillg is 61"1IIl/, spiritllal, perfect, harmollious ill eveI')' actioll" (S. & H. p. 407). Man is the eternal, spiritual perfection of harmonious being. There is no disturbance of nutrition; ever-operative, divine Principle maintains the continuity of being and the eternal, scienti- fic order. Man is Principle's activity of continuity and eternal order. 
There is no alteration of gland secretion, the standard of God's activity is unatterably constant, made manifest by means of man. There is no harmful process, the only process is the perfect unfoldment of the perennial truth of Being. Man recognises the perennial truth of Being in the unfoldment of the perfect process. There is no over-action or under-action, the only action is the action of God, which is eternally taking place, blessing man. (Work against any symptoms and against fear). 

08/15/2023 --- How do we demonstrate dominion in the midst of chaos. Anything at all that is unlike God is a false flag. 


A temptation to believe that: 

1. God  is not omnipresent
2. God is not omnipotent 
3. God is not omniscient 
4. God is not omni-active 


A temptation to believe that God lacks:

1. Intelligence
2. Wisdom
3. Knowing
4. Capacity
5. Capability
6. Creative ability
7. Functionality


A temptation to believe that

1. God is made up of matter that is flawed. 
2. That the personal senses are the real senses: seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling are all made up of a matter and operated by moral mind. 
3. That life can be terminate to become death. 4. That life it is not eternal, not spiritual. 
5. That the principle is out the window. 
6. There is no structure, no system, no balance and no harmony. 
7. Chaos will upset everything. 
8. That Truth there is no standard, no foundation that we can depend on. 
9. There is no love, everything is hate, fear and discord. 
10. Evil will control you because it prevent you from being united. 
11. You are not going to be united with God or with others like-minded thinking individuals. 
12.You may pursue a better understanding of God but out there you are all alone. 
13. Evil will turn your life upside down. 
14. You are going to think that there is nothing to control all these false flags. 
15. Evil will make you believe that they are all real and outside of anyone's control.


THE SOLUTION:

1. Deny that reality or anything unlike God is false.
2. Affirm the qualities of God are true.
3. Know there is nothing but God.

07/21/2024 ~ Material Sense of Heaven is Finite & Leads to Hell

Body ~ What is the real Body? 

Body only has four letters and two syllables. The common way to  view body is in a finite sense. But if one looks more closely, no matter what kind of body you're thinking about, whether it is a personal body that you see in the mirror, or whether it is a company or anything else, higher, lower, or in between, if one examines it closely, they will see that there are probably many elements that comprise the body. 

For example, what we see in the mirror we know has exterior and interior elements. If you're like me, you know almost nothing about the invisible. In other words, what is underneath the exterior shell that one can easily view and describe. 


Is body being seen as spiritual & flawless?

Elements that are invisible could be static, or they could be dynamic. No matter what kind of a body, it includes an exterior & interior. 


Body is consciousness including its contents 


1. What substance are we assigning to the exterior? How about the interior?

2. Where do each one of them obtain their functionality, capacity, facility?

3. God is all intelligence, wisdom, knowing, action. Can God's image experience a malfunction?

There arc no chapped hands, man's hands are spiritual, the power to grasp the ideas of God, God's power. Man's skin can never be broken, lnan's skin is the loving  action of God which preserves man's individu- Illity, reflecting substance, full and complete. There is no hardened skin, man's skin is spiritual and perfect, pure and holy. (Work against matter and poison in the blood and for circulation of the blood. Work in a similar way against any other trouble to the hands). 

There is. no difficulty in discerning character, God is the Principle of all knowledge, and man knows everything that he needs instantly, as he is God's consciousness and knows and  fully understands everything o('('essary. God is the Principle of all wiRciom and knowledge and manifests that wisdom and knowledge, giving man understanding of everything he needs. (Work in a similar way for other kinds of discernment). 

Man can never be incorrectly charged, for God is the PrincipiI! of all justice and man reflects that justice and is absolutely just and fair to his fellow man. There  are no mistakes, man reflects wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. Man is never deceived, for God is Truth, and man knows Truth. (Work fot love, justice and, if necessary, against dishonesty). 

27	                        A TESTIMONY FROM SCOTLAND 

   	    I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing. 
  	I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev-
30	ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 
 1	I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion
  	aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power,
 3	and thought to put them in the place of God, with
  	the consequence that I was led to do many rash and
  	foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out-
 6	look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's
  	wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and
  	thankful to know my future is in His hands and that
 9	all things must work out for the best. I have found a
  	God whom I can love and worship with my whole
  	heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and
12	understanding. 
  	    I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read-
  	ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines,
15	also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me
  	that I would always suffer from this disease, as it
  	was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever
18	when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing
  	relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness
  	of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi-
21	cines I was taking and have never touched any since,
  	and that is more than two years ago. Before this I
  	had often tried to do without a medicine that I had
24	taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had
  	to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only
  	medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 
27	    I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks,
  	colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to
  	be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say,
30	I am quite free from all those material laws and go
  	out in all sorts of weather. — R. D. F., Edinburgh,

There are nu chilblains, all is spiritual and perfect and harmonious. rhere is no want of circulation, the blood is the joy that circulates right throughout the consciousness, pure, perfect,  divine, and holy; Love is the power that causes the joy to circulate, and Love is omnipotent and :ver active, for Love is God. There is no hardness of the skin, the skin is God's loving maintenance of man's individuality, giving him pc:rfecc ioy and happiness.

15	                            SPINAL DISEASE  HEALED 

  	    When I first heard of Christian Science, seven years
  	ago, I supposed that it was some old fad under a new
18	name. In the little Texas town where we then lived
  	there were two or three Christian Scientists who met
  	at the home of one of their number to read the Lesson-
21	Sermon. Meeting one of them one day, I asked if un-
  	believers could come to their meetings. She said that
  	they could if they wanted to. I went, expecting them
24	to do something that I could laugh at when telling my
  	friends about it. How surprised I was to find out that
  	they didn't do anything but read the Bible and another
27	book which they called Science and Health. I still
  	thought it all foolishness, but resolved to go to their meet-
  	ings until I found out all they believed. I continued to
30	go until I began to understand a little of what they knew,
 1	not what they believed; and instead of spending my
  	time telling others what a silly thing Christian Science
 3	is, I am now trying to find words to tell what a great
  	and wonderful thing it is. I have been healed of so-
  	called incurable spinal disease of ten years' standing
 6	by studying the Bible and Science and Health. Science
  	and Health has been my only teacher, and I wish to send
  	my thanks to our dear Leader. 
 9	    There are no other Scientists near where we now live,
  	but I have the Quarterly and study the lessons by myself. 
  	I have five small children, and Christian Science is in-
12	valuable to me in controlling them, and in overcoming
  	their common ills. They often help themselves and
  	each other to destroy their little hurts and fears. — Mrs.

CANCER AND CONSUMPTION HEALED 

  	    I was a great sufferer for many years from internal
30	cancer and consumption. I was treated by the best of
 1	physicians  in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and
  	was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris-
 3	tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con-
  	sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs.
  	Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three
 6	months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by
  	this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases,
  	but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been
 9	in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have
  	had many good demonstrations during this time, have
  	passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth
12	has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and
  	God was with me. 
  	    I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth
15	which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may
  	help some sister who is looking through the Journal for
  	a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby
18	came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework
  	up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. 
  	I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at
21	half past five baby was born, no one being present but
  	my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the
  	rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new
24	baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I
  	ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining-
  	room. I was out on the porch the second day, around
27	the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well
  	ever since, which has been now over three years. To
  	one who had previously passed through agony untold,
30	with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. 
  	I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth,
  	and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved
1	Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures."

God is Love and man reflects that Love and is ahs()lutdy loving towards aU, for man is the love of God, the love of Love. Intinite Love surrounds man, and  man is loving towards all. There is no fear, man has absolute trust in God, trust in good. Man can never harm his fellow man, for God is Truth, and man knows Truth. Man has perfect confidence in his fellow man, because he has confidence in good; he knows that there is nothing but good.

See CONGENIAL SURROUNDINGS

See WORK, CONTINUITY OF

Man never controls his fellow man, God controls all. There are no separate persons, God is the only Person, and "in him we live, and move, and have our being"  (Acts 17 : 28); there is no need of control, for all are guided and controlled by the one impulse, the impulse of Love. Man is not responsible for the conduct of his fellow man, God alone has .res­ ponsibility, and He is responsible to His own gracious nature, the nature of infinite Love.

See FRANKNESS

There is never any wrong proportion, for the balance of perfect activity is preserved by Principle, and al) things work together for good in the harmony of Mind. God is  the Principle of all law and order; man can never have too much or too little of anything ; God settles the order and number of the ideas which come to man, for Life is the law of Soul, and all ideas unfold in perfect sequence.

Man is never thinking wrongly, for man is God’s consciousness, by means of which God thinks. No material thoughts can come to man, only God’s ideas come ; these ideas  unfold in perfect sequence, and man is continually thinking of God’s ideas and loves to receive them, for they give him Infinite joy and happiness.

See HOLIDAYS

There is no difficulty in gaining knowledge, for man knows instantly everything he needs. God’s ideas unfold to man, and he grasps and thoroughly understands these ideas and utilises them.  He has the capacity to know instantly any idea of God which he needs ; this capacity is the Christ capacity, spiritual and perfect, for man is God’s consciousness, as infinite as God. (See Learn by Heart, Ability to).

See LEARN, ABILITY TO

In cases where parents are admittedly antagonistic to Right Thinking jne may realise that there is no malice against Truth, man and his fellow man equally know Truth, love Truth,  rejoice in Truth and desire Truth, for God is Truth, and there is nothing but God, nothing but Truth.

See MALICE AGAINST TRUTH

Not one of God’s beings ever fails to co-operate, he is always interested n his fellow man, for man is God’s consciousness and enjoys all God’s deas, he is the  consciousness of Love and is loving towards all. There s no opposition, there is only one Mind, and nothing takes place but :he action of God. There is no conflict of opinion for all thoughts come iem the one source, God; no inharmonious desires, for all desire to arry out .the one will, the will of God.

Man never sleeps, for he reflects divine Mind, and is ever active and :ver energetic. Man is always in the right place at the right time, for he is in  Mind, in God, being God’s consciousness. There is no mesmerism, >r self-mesmerism, for the only power is that of God. God is Mind, the Principle of all activity and energy, and man reflects Mind and is ever ictive and ever energetic.
Sometimes the sleepiness is the result of being obliged to work late it night, then you may realise that no want of sleep can touch man, for nan never sleeps, he is divine, ever active and ever energetic, governed by God.

See SLEEP, TOO MUCH

There are no chills, for man is spiritual and perfect, surrounded by the warmth of divine Love. Man's temperature can never lower, for all is normal. No cold air can  ever harm man, for man is divine. Only God's ideas come to man, and these ideas always benefit man. (Work against poison in the blood and for circulation of the blood). (See COLD).

A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND 

  	    It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
18	and to our dear Leader, that I send this  testimony to
  	the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
  	been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
21	life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
  	very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
  	two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be-
24	hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several
  	others, so that with these ills my life was often a
  	burden to me and I used to think I never should re-
27	ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for
  	God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
  	as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
30	His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 
 1	I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
  	Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
 3	presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
  	believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
  	tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
 6	looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
  	Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
  	I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
 9	Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
  	other Christian Science literature for a year. After
  	studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
12	day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
  	no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
  	perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
15	Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
  	ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
  	can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
18	and had for several years been obliged to use special
  	glasses when reading or working, and could never use
  	my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
21	reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
  	in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
  	est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
24	cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
  	that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
  	rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
27	Ireland. 

There are no dirty chimneys, all chimneys are ideas in Mind, spiritual and perfect, ministering to man, and benefiting man. There is no material soot, all God's ideas are spiritual;  none of God's ideas can ever be in the wrong place, for they are ideas in Mind, governed by God, and God is the Principle of all law and all order. 

Christ ~ translating what comes our way to its spiritual nature.

Christianity ~ Using the understanding to demonstrate two items i.e., Word & Christ were accurately understood

There are no long standing beliefs, for man is spiritual and governed by God and by God alone. There is no mortal mind to make man think that he has  long been ill, there is only one Mind, God, and man is the consciousness of that Mind, knowing only good. Man cannot be hypnotised into believing that it is difficult for him to be healed, for man is perfect and the only thoughts which can come to him are God's thoughts, thoughts of Life and health and joy. Man never malpractises upon himself, he is always thinking rightly, for he knows Truth. Man is perfect and man knows that he is perfect; man is spiritual and he knows that he is spiritual; man is divine and he knows that he is divine, for man is God's consciousness, knowing Truth and Truth alone.

The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle. The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the  race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.  [SH 583]

I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that  man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors.
When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food.

In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me.

I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach.

From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all.

See BLOOD, CIRCULATION OF

No cistern can ever leak, all God's ideas are spiritual and perfect, reRecting substance, ministering to man and benefiting man; no water can ever leave its place, because water is  an idea of God, always in its right' place. No idea of God ean ever harm another idea, all ideas are governed by God, the Principle of good. 

God's ideas are continually coming to man; man re-presents these ideas, giving his fellow man joy and happiness; he groupll tht: ideas that come to him into glorious combinations, which  radiate out in infinitt: Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness. Only God's ideas, ideas of Truth, can come to man, and man therefore can re-present only ideas of Truth. 
There are no mistakes, man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge; man is absolutely accurate. The ideas of God unfold to man in perfect sequence and man re-presents these ideas with perfect sequence, idea after idea. These ideas are God's ideas, pure, spiritual, divine and holy. "/ mate the fruit of the lips" (Is. 57 : 19). • There is no malice against Truth, man loves Truth, knows Truth and rejoices in Truth, for God is Truth, and there is nothing but God, nothing but Truth. . 
There is no erroneous theology, man is the knowledge of God, the knowledge of Tr!1th, and knows Truth and understands Truth. 

There is no want of knowledge, God is the Principle of all knowledge, and therefore man, being God’s consciousness, knows instantly, and therefore has instantly everything that he needs.
There is  no criticism, man is perfect and man knows that man is perfect; man is divine and man knows that man is divine. Man never malpractises on his fellow man, but is always loving, for man knows Truth ; man is spiritual and man knows he is spiritual; man does perfect work and man knows he docs perfect work. (It is mental malpractice to think that people you are trying to help are not ready for the truth or are antagonistic. This is one of the worst forms of sin, as it is holding back your fellow man, keeping him in bondage.) God’s man is perfect and knows and loves Truth, because he is the knowledge of God, God’s consciousness, and therefore must know Truth and love Truth and the manifestation of Truth. (Reverse all wrong thoughts thoroughly and lose yourself in conscious communion with God, realising the absolute perfection of the real world that is in Mind, and the perfection of the movement of the ideas in Mind, alias man. You will be surprised at the readiness and joy with which others will then listen to Truth.).

See CRITICISM

There are no bad climatic conditions, all is spiritual and perfect, working in the atmosphere of Spirit. Man is never too hot, he is always normal; man is never too  cold, he is surrounded by the warmth of divine Love, for man is consciousness, God's consciousness, divine and perfl,:ct. Man can Ill,:vcr ~utfer from dimntic conditions, as there is only the :ltlllusphere of Truth and l.ove. Mal! lives in the only atmosphere lhat exists, the atmosphere uf perfect peace. God and God's world are perfect, the same yesterday, to-day and for ever. Man is poised in Mind, in a perfect world, which has entity and never changes. Glorious ideas continually unfold to man, giving man absolute joy and happiness. 

There is no clot of blood, man's blood is the joy which continually circulates throughout consciousness. No channels are ever blocked by the blood, the channels of consciousness are free  and open, through which the joy passes with unfailing regularity and case. (Work against matter and for circulation of the blood. In embolism, where particles are conveyed by the blood stream to the heart, brain or elsewhere, so stopping the flow of the blood, the method of working is the same, but one wants especially to work against matter so as to dematerialise 'the particles. At the same time one wants especially to realise that the channels in consciousness arc never blocked, and that all God's ideas pass with absolute freedom and case.) 

There is.no club-foot, man's foot is spiritual and perfect, God's power of conc('ntration, giving man joy and happiness, working perfectly and divinely. "The joy 0/ the Lord II your strength"  (Neh. 8 : 10). All God's ideas arc perfect and man knows God's ideas are perfect. There is no deformity, all formation is perfect and beautiful. There is no useless foot, man's foot is perfect, working perfectly. There is no misery, man is absolutely joyous, "The lonl 0/ God shouted/or joy" (Job 38 : 7). (Work against matter and symptoms, and work for joy. so that the patient docs not mind the trouble wnilst the demonstration is being made).

Here one should work for wisdom, intelligence and knowledge; against fear, tiredness, brain-fag and overwork; for love of the work, that the work should be done quickly. accurately and perfectly;  that man should know instantly everything that he neel'ls; that nothing that he does not understand can possibly come to him. One should also take up specially the points in which the pupil is weak, and work against them. Very often one has to help the pupil physically; for instance, against such things as headaches. 
  In order to choost' a suitable coach Ont: can realise that IlIall cannot choose anyone unsuitable as man IS spiritual and perfect. All men reflect every attribute and quality of God to an infinite extent, always benefiting and helping their fellow man perfectly. There arc no mistakes, m!\n re,re"cts divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge; there is no lack of discernment, for God thinks by means of man, discriminating perfectly. 
To help the coach one can realise that there is no impatience, all is peace and rest and harmony. God's ideas unfold with perfect sequence as God is the Principle of all law and all order. There is nothing to be impatient with, for man is perfect and works perfectly. All God's ideas flow uniformly throughout consciousness, being received and expressed with perfect ease, giving man joy and happiness, for Mind is God, govern- ing all.

DYSPEPSIA QUICKLY HEALED 

  	    It has occurred to me that I have had ample time to
30	meditate on the many blessings which I have received
 1	through  Christian Science, as it is now more than six
  	years since I was entirely healed of dyspepsia as well as
 3	constipation in its worst form by the reading of Science
  	and Health. So aggravated were the conditions that for
  	three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold
 6	water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my
  	only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water
  	injections, for a period of more than three years. 
 9	    I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might
  	say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading
  	Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not
12	think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when
  	I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and
  	drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect
15	from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop
  	of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam-
  	ily of five. 
18	    I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our
  	home by having our youngest child relieved of the most
  	excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood,
21	immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi-
  	tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be
  	thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy,
24	whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this
  	precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M. C.
  	McK., Denver, Col. 

A HELPFUL TESTIMONY 

18	    Words cannot express my gratitude to God for
  	Christian Science. When I first read Science and
  	Health, I had tried every  remedy I had ever heard of. 
21	I felt no change in mind or body that I was conscious
  	of until I read page 16 of the chapter on "Prayer," in
  	Science and Health. The first words of the "spiritual
24	sense of the Lord's Prayer," telling of our Father-
  	Mother God, gave me a glimpse of heavenly light. I
  	stopped and reasoned, and remembered the teachings
27	of Jesus. The truth of man's spiritual being dawned
  	on my consciousness. I realized I was not subject to
  	mortal laws, as I had been taught all my life. I could
30	not explain how I knew this, but I knew it. Through
  	Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy had given me what
1	I had longed for all my life, — a Mother, a perfect
  	"Father-Mother God." I had known there was a
 3	great lack, and at that time I believe the orthodox
  	world had but half of the truth which Jesus came to
  	establish. When I read, "Give us this day our daily
 6	bread," and its spiritual interpretation, my tears began
  	to flow; all the years of bitterness, hate, and fear melted
  	away. I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies
 9	but Love. That day began the outward and inward
  	conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never
  	came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science
12	was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are
  	nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man,
  	and the universe. 
15	    I did not need treatment from any one, — Science
  	and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not
  	understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined
18	now that I had a little understanding of Christian
  	Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in
  	the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have
21	been all these years, the picture of perfect health. 
  	When I first read Science and Health I weighed one
  	hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun-
24	dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com-
  	pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing
  	can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing
27	has shown me the perversity of the human mind more
  	than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even
  	when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con-
30	stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking,
  	"You are not well, any one could look at you and know
  	it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look
 1	as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not
  	have had consumption." 
 3	    When I think what my life was before I had Christian
  	Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough-
  	ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work,
 6	watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work
  	rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what
  	belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life,
 9	Truth, and Love is all. — A. C. L., Kansas City, Kans. 

A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND 

  	    It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
18	and to our dear Leader, that I send this  testimony to
  	the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
  	been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
21	life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
  	very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
  	two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be-
24	hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several
  	others, so that with these ills my life was often a
  	burden to me and I used to think I never should re-
27	ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for
  	God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
  	as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
30	His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 
 1	I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
  	Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
 3	presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
  	believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
  	tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
 6	looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
  	Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
  	I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
 9	Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
  	other Christian Science literature for a year. After
  	studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
12	day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
  	no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
  	perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
15	Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
  	ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
  	can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
18	and had for several years been obliged to use special
  	glasses when reading or working, and could never use
  	my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
21	reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
  	in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
  	est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
24	cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
  	that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
  	rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
27	Ireland. 

27	                        A TESTIMONY FROM SCOTLAND 

   	    I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing. 
  	I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev-
30	ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 
 1	I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion
  	aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power,
 3	and thought to put them in the place of God, with
  	the consequence that I was led to do many rash and
  	foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out-
 6	look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's
  	wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and
  	thankful to know my future is in His hands and that
 9	all things must work out for the best. I have found a
  	God whom I can love and worship with my whole
  	heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and
12	understanding. 
  	    I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read-
  	ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines,
15	also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me
  	that I would always suffer from this disease, as it
  	was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever
18	when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing
  	relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness
  	of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi-
21	cines I was taking and have never touched any since,
  	and that is more than two years ago. Before this I
  	had often tried to do without a medicine that I had
24	taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had
  	to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only
  	medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 
27	    I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks,
  	colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to
  	be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say,
30	I am quite free from all those material laws and go
  	out in all sorts of weather. — R. D. F., Edinburgh,
  	Scotland.

09/26/2023 -- SUMMARY

1.Do we know our business? 

2. Our business is to align ourselves with the principle of every activity in which we are involved. 

3. Aligning ourselves with principle  is how we communicate with God, how we talk to God. 

4. Genesis 1 stresses the point that we must let our consciousness be open so that we can accept the qualities of God as outlined in Genesis chapter 1.

5. We need to learn the 4 operators of the system of divine Metaphysics ~ See the definition in the Header from Science and Health 463

6. To know Mary Baker Eddy better, we must study her writings.

7. To know God better, study the definitions of God and the definition of Good and the quotations that are introductions to the Science and Health chapters.

8. To align oneself with God, it must be in an impersonal way, which means that if we love an individual, it has to be loving all mankind. 

9. We can't love one person and hate another. There is a very definite line between love and hate. Either it's all love or if there's anything at all that is not all love, then it's hate. There is no mixture in Spirit which is flawless, so this is the same with Truth in error.

10. There is no evil and good. There is no good and evil. There is no hate and love. There is no love and hate. All expressions of God's qualities must be impersonal, so everyone is treated the same way. 

11. To settle our accounts on an ongoing continuous basis, so there is never any conflict with anyone that goes unresolved. 

12. The Golden Rule is ~ Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. 

13. All communication is without interruption.

14. Nothing can dilute, divert, stop or reverse the communication from God and man. 

15. Nothing can prevent the benefits of what anyone has for others. 

16. All communication is mental.

08/11/2023 --- There are two parties involved in the communication. One is the qualities of God which are announcing themselves without the interruption and the other is the individual who  should be comparing what they are trying to communicate and comparison with what the facts are about the loss of God.


There should be an alignment, if they are aligned then the communication is automatically complete.

(Deal with a company as if you were dealing with a man, as ill treat- ment the action of God, from a theological point of view, takes place on the  particular people and things needing help, when the mist thins and heaven is seen more as it is). 

There is no want of companionship, thcrc nrc infinite iueas in ~Iind, available to man instantly, infinite perfect beings with whom man is always interchanging God's ideas, giving and receiving  beautiful com- binations of ideas which give infinite joy and happiness. There is no separation, there is only one Mind, God, one consciousness, man, and man is instantly in touch with anyone he needs.

There is no want of compassion, for man rejoices in helping his fellow man, passing on God's ideas to him. (Then work for love). 

See OVER-COMPETITION

Most of my boyhood days were spent in the hands of physicians. From birth I was considered a very weakly child, but my mother was brave, and being much devoted  to me did everything within her knowledge and power for my comfort. Sickness and medicine were continually before me, and by the time I reached my teens I thought I knew a material remedy for every ill. I continued in my delusion, because I was never told the real cause of my trouble. Besides being under a leading specialist for two years, I was also an outdoor patient at a noted hospital, but I was not healed. It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible.

From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause.

Man groups together God's ideas into perfect combinations, which give infinite joy to infinite beings. The expression of the creator is full and complete, eternally continuous and harmonious, ever manifesting  the divine purpose of infinite Mind in .. immortal forms of beauty and goodness," in the intelligent grouping together of glorious ideas into one perfect whole. Life continuously feeds man with a constant succession of ideas, constant streams of fresh, imperishable ideas of every kind. 
Refiecting omnipresence, man is instantly in touch with any idea he needs to form a perfect sequence of ideas. These ideas fiow into con- sciousness, in perfect sequence and perfect order and are arranged with l')(quisite taste, giving a glorious sense of the joyous zest and exhilaration of Life.

See DOING WORK

See MUSIC COMPOSITION

See WORK

People often ask for help for want of concentration, but concentration is not really what they need. Concentration is the term used, when, for instance, one of the Indian miracle  workers concentrates on the thing he wants, say a mango tree, and thinks with all his power that there is Ii mango tree there; then it appears. Sometimes it is due to hypnotic . effect, sometimes it is actually materialised. 
What people mean by want of concentration, is that they allow their thoughts to wander when they are trying to think only of the world of reality. What they need, then, is not concentration, but that a perfect sequence of ideas should come to them. The treatment therefore is as follows:- There is no lack of concentration, divine Principle is the Mind of man, and the unbroken continuity of His unfolding ideas gives man spiritual power and peace. lIIan never concentrates on anyone idea, God's ideas unfold to man in perfect sequence and arc re-presented in perfect sequence, for God is the Principle of all law and all order. 

There is no want of concord, God is Love and Love is the only power, the only presence. There is no discord, all is perfect harmony; man is spiritual and  perfect, made in the image and likeness of God. There is no strife, man reAects inf1nite peace, joy, love and harmony. There is no mortal mind, God is the only Mind and the only Ego, the only Self. (Then work for love). 

There is no concussion of the brain, for man is spiritual and perfect; it neyer happened, man is divine, always in the presence of divine Love. Man's brain is never  injured, man's brain is the capacity of thinking, the Christ capacity, spiritual and perfect. There is no sudden interruption of the functions of the brain, for man is governed by God, and God is the Principle of all law and order. There is no unconsciousness, for man is God's consciousness, ever active, ever energetic. (Work against symptoms such as inflammation, paralysis). 

There is no want of confidence, man is confident of ab~olutc good: there is nothing but good and man knows there is nothing but good. Man is divine and m,an  knows that man is divine; man is spiritual and man knows that man is spiritual; man does perfect work, and man knows that man does perfect work, for God is Truth and man knows Truth.

Man does perfect work; for when man works, God works, God works by means of man, and God is the Principle of all law and order. (Sec HURRY).

Man is always in the right place, in Mind, in God, and surrounding him are nothing but God's perfect ideas, always giving him joy and happiness. Man loves to dwell  upon the thoughts which continually come to him, he rejoices in God's ideas, which feed and nourish him. He loves to be where he is, for he is always in a perfect position, in Mind. 

There is no congestion, all channels arc channels in consciousness through which God's ideas pass with absolute unfailing regularity and case; Love is the power which causes the ideas to  circulate, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. There is no stagnation, all God's ideas flow with perfect regularity. Each idea is in its right place, in Mind, ministering to :lnu benefiting man, (Work :lgHin~t inflammation, find for circulation of the blood). 

There is no want of (consideration for others, man i~ always thinking of others, helping them, passing on God's ideas and grouping the ideas into glorious combinations with the object  of benefiting his fellow man. He always knows what is necessary for his fellow man and helps him to the utmost, thinking of others and not of himself, being absolutely unselfish and selfless. 

There is no constipation, man's food is the ideas of God whieh continually unfold to man, idea after idea, with perfect case and perfect regularity. These ideas arc digested, assimilated,  understood and grouped together into perfect combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness. Love is the power that causes the ideas to circulate in Mind; Love is the power that causes man to pass on God's ideas, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. Man's colon is the reflection or knowledge of God as Soul, working perfectly and freely, with spontaneous regularity and harmony, giving man al\ wisdom and knowledge. Man's bowels are channels in consciousnes~ through which God's ideas, when grouped together, pass, working perfectly with absolute ease and regularity. Man's muscles are God's thought forces, having absolute power and strength, working perfectly, working divinely. God is the Principle of al1law and of all order, there- fore the ideas of God come and go in Mind with unfailing ease and unfailing regularity; man is governed by law and order.

24	                 ASTIGMATISM AND HERNIA HEALED 

  	    It is nearly  five years since I bought my first copy of
  	Science and Health, the reading of which cured me of
27	chronic constipation, nervous headache, astigmatism, and
  	hernia, in less than four months. 
  	    Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been
30	brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 
 1	I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond,
  	if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good
 3	that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works
  	testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person,
  	I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than
 6	words can express for the glorious healing that has come
  	to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con-
  	vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who
 9	has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch
  	at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B. S. J., Sioux
  	City, Iowa. 

HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my  room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,
  	Chicago, Ill. 

12	                    SUBSTANCE OF LUNGS RESTORED 

  	     It was about fifteen years ago that Christian Science
  	first came to my notice. At that time I had been a chronic
15	invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel
  	trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One
  	physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper,
18	ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as
  	my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic-
  	tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and
21	every material remedy that promised help, but no help
  	came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci-
  	ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands
24	by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told
  	that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com-
  	menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau-
27	tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and
  	healed me of all those diseases, and they have never
  	returned. 
30	    I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained
 1	ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all
  	that day and during the night I gave myself Christian
 3	Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning
  	it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen,
  	and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could,
 6	I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of
  	Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I
  	became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about
 9	my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had
  	a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the
  	time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two
12	hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. 
  	When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt-
  	ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue
15	appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. 
  	It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and
  	"present with the Lord." This experience was worth
18	a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is
  	done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. 

18	                                  MANY ILLS OVERCOME 

  	    I have received much help, spiritually and physically,
  	through Christian Science. I had what the doctors
21	diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con-
  	stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom
  	I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian
24	Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I
  	did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my
  	troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the
27	Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles
  	of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and
  	Health through. The thought came, What about the
30	old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the
 1	material remedies I had and threw them away. That
  	was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them
 3	since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit
  	of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read-
  	ing Science and Health. I have not words to express
 6	the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that
  	have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle,
  	Wash. 

DYSPEPSIA QUICKLY HEALED 

  	    It has occurred to me that I have had ample time to
30	meditate on the many blessings which I have received
 1	through  Christian Science, as it is now more than six
  	years since I was entirely healed of dyspepsia as well as
 3	constipation in its worst form by the reading of Science
  	and Health. So aggravated were the conditions that for
  	three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold
 6	water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my
  	only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water
  	injections, for a period of more than three years. 
 9	    I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might
  	say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading
  	Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not
12	think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when
  	I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and
  	drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect
15	from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop
  	of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam-
  	ily of five. 
18	    I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our
  	home by having our youngest child relieved of the most
  	excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood,
21	immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi-
  	tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be
  	thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy,
24	whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this
  	precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M. C.
  	McK., Denver, Col. 

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER HEALED 

  	    When Christian Science came to me, I had been tak-
15	ing medicine every day for twenty years, on account of
   	constipation. I had been treated by doctors and spe-
  	cialists; had taken magnetic treatments and osteopathy;
18	had tried change of climate; had an operation in a hospital,
  	and when I came out was worse than before. I was
  	so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard
21	of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed
  	as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend
  	suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard
24	that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought
  	this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this
  	was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book,
27	Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of
  	curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped
  	by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine
30	and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I,
 1	however, dropped my medicine and read for three days;
  	then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed
 3	of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since. 
  	I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since,
  	and other ailments have disappeared. My little daughter
 6	has also been healed and has learned to use this knowledge
  	in her school work. — Mrs. O. R., Leadville, Col. 

A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND 

  	    It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
18	and to our dear Leader, that I send this  testimony to
  	the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
  	been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
21	life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
  	very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
  	two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be-
24	hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several
  	others, so that with these ills my life was often a
  	burden to me and I used to think I never should re-
27	ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for
  	God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
  	as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
30	His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 
 1	I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
  	Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
 3	presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
  	believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
  	tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
 6	looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
  	Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
  	I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
 9	Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
  	other Christian Science literature for a year. After
  	studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
12	day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
  	no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
  	perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
15	Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
  	ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
  	can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
18	and had for several years been obliged to use special
  	glasses when reading or working, and could never use
  	my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
21	reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
  	in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
  	est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
24	cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
  	that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
  	rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
27	Ireland. 

1	              SCIENCE AND HEALTH A PRICELESS BOON 

  	    I am a willing  witness to the healing power of Chris-
 3	tian Science, having had a lifetime's battle with dis-
  	ease and medical experiments. Various doctors finally
  	admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and
 6	could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was
  	impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent
  	sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal
 9	career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant
  	type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of
  	this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis-
12	dom of men, for while studying Science and Health
  	two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and
  	perfect health was shown to me to be my real con-
15	dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant
  	use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to
  	me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid
18	aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never-
  	failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation
  	"the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and
21	mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr-
  	anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed
  	leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible
24	and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con-
  	sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C.,
             Manatee, Fla.

A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 

18	    I became interested in Christian Science some five
  	years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal-
  	ing to me, and  I must say, at the outset, that with my
21	little experience I have found it all and more than I ever
  	dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am
  	satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me
24	an ever-present help. 
  	    My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted
  	with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go
27	out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would
  	be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual
  	remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob-
30	stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in
 1	the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light
  	shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of
 3	Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris-
  	tian Science, save that God was the physician at all
  	times. In my own way I believed He was all-power-
 6	ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through
  	with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her
  	in God's care and see what He will do. I have done
 9	all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's
  	feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the
  	child was perfectly natural, and has since been free
12	from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some
  	months later a second test came. She woke up at nine
  	o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There
15	was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my
  	Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked
  	the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma-
18	terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go
  	back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought
  	of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation
21	I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me,
  	came to mind. She said she always found it helpful
  	to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat-
24	ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up
  	my Science and Health, and these were the words I
  	read: —  
27	    "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. 
  	The more difficult seems the material condition to be
  	overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith
30	and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There
  	is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' "
  	(Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying
 1	had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes
  	asked to be put to bed. There has been no further
 3	trouble of that kind. 
  	    I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error
  	of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton-
 6	silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far
  	more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to
  	forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism.

HEALTH AND PEACE ATTAINED 

 9	    For fifteen years I was a great sufferer physically and
  	mentally. Eminent physicians treated me for hereditary
  	consumption, torpid  liver, and many other diseases. I
12	sought relief at famous springs, the ozone of Florida, and
  	the pure air of Colorado, but in vain. My life was one
  	ceaseless torture. 
15	    During all this time, however, I was an earnest seeker
  	after Truth. I examined every religious teaching with
  	a calm and unprejudiced attention. From an orthodox
18	Protestant I became a skeptic, and a follower of Voltaire,
  	Tom Paine, and Ingersoll; yet all the while I retained
  	faith in a supreme intelligent Being who made all. Sick,
21	weary, doubting, and despairing, I accidentally went into
  	a Christian Science church in New York City, on a Wed-
  	nesday evening, not knowing what kind of a place it was. 
24	Seeing a large number of people going into the build-
  	ing, I followed, supposing that a marriage ceremony
  	had attracted the crowd. Being informed it was their
27	regular Wednesday evening service, I inquired as to the
  	denomination. I concluded that it was another new fad,
  	but after investigation I procured a copy of Science and
30	Health, promising I would read it carefully. I began
 1	reading the book on Tuesday and finished on Friday of
  	the same week. I was still in the dark. I laid the book
 3	down, involuntarily closed my eyes, and silently prayed
  	to God. 
  	    I remained in that attitude a few moments, when I
 6	felt like the mariner who had been tossed for days upon
  	a boisterous sea, the clouds bending low, the billows
  	rolling high, all nature wrapped in darkness; in his de-
 9	spair he kneels and commits his soul to God, when he
  	suddenly beholds the North Star breaking through the
  	clouds, enabling him to guide his ship to the shores of
12	safety. Many things were made plain to me. I saw
  	that there is one Fatherhood of God and one brother-
  	hood of man; that though "once I was blind, now I see;"
15	that there was no more pain, nor aches, no fear, nor in-
  	digestion. I slept that night like a babe and awoke next
  	morning refreshed. There are now no traces whatever of
18	my former complaint and I feel like a new being. — L. P.,
             New York, N. Y. 

HEREDITARY DISEASE OF THE LUNGS CURED 

  	    For a long time I have been impelled to contribute a
15	testimony of the healing power of Truth. As  I read
  	other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may
  	rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and
18	Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that
  	Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. 
  	    From childhood I had never known a well day. I
21	was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con-
  	sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and
  	three brothers having passed on with it. The law of
24	materia medica said that in a short time I must fol-
  	low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over
  	eight years' standing, during which time I always re-
27	tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my
  	food was so great that I denied myself food when hun-
  	gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble,
30	which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from
  1	the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated
  	an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that
 3	flesh is heir to:  I had trouble with my eyes from a child;
  	wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying
  	I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less
 6	than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I
  	refused to do. 
  	    But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through
 9	the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what
  	Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for
  	my children, my home, my all. The physical healing
12	is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting
  	is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been
  	told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. 

HEALED OF CONSUMPTION AND ASTHMA 

	    It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great benefits which
 12 	have come to me through Christian Science. It is nearly
   	ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by
	borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become
  15	a hopeless sufferer from asthma, — the disease being so
  	aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos-
	sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump-
  18	tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both
  	sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian
	Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw. 
  21	However, I was much interested as soon as I began to
  	understand it, and having read the book nearly all my
	waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better
  24	and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de-
  	stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never
	since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con-
  27	tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as
  	best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months. 
	    Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had
  30	been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that
  1	class of literature extensively, and had no desire for
	anything of a religious nature, — the orthodox teaching
  3	never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of
  	an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth
	of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza-
  6	reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of
  	mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that
	Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus
  9	proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of
  	greatest need. However great my physical suffering has
	been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con-
 12	sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus
  	I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God,
	good, as revealed in Christian Science. — C. B., Webb

12	                    SUBSTANCE OF LUNGS RESTORED 

  	     It was about fifteen years ago that Christian Science
  	first came to my notice. At that time I had been a chronic
15	invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel
  	trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One

  	returned. 
30	    I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained
 1	ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all
  	that day and during the night I gave myself Christian
 3	Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning
  	it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen,
  	and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could,
 6	I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of
  	Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I
  	became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about
 9	my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had
  	a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the
  	time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two
12	hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. 
  	When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt-
  	ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue
15	appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. 
  	It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and
  	"present with the Lord." This experience was worth
18	a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is
  	done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. 

CANCER AND CONSUMPTION HEALED 

  	    I was a great sufferer for many years from internal
30	cancer and consumption. I was treated by the best of
 1	physicians  in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and
  	was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris-
 3	tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con-
  	sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs.
  	Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three
 6	months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by
  	this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases,
  	but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been
 9	in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have
  	had many good demonstrations during this time, have
  	passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth
12	has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and
  	God was with me. 
  	    I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth
15	which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may
  	help some sister who is looking through the Journal for
  	a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby
18	came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework
  	up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. 
  	I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at
21	half past five baby was born, no one being present but
  	my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the
  	rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new
24	baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I
  	ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining-
  	room. I was out on the porch the second day, around
27	the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well
  	ever since, which has been now over three years. To
  	one who had previously passed through agony untold,
30	with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. 
  	I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth,
  	and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved
1	Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures."

9	                       CONSUMPTION QUICKLY CURED 

  	     I became interested in Christian Science nearly five
  	years ago through the healing of my wife of what the
12	doctors called consumption in its last stages. I had tried
  	everything that I could get in the way of materia medica,
  	and every doctor would tell me nearly the same story
15	about the case. At last they recommended for her only
  	a higher, drier climate, and when she would be at her
  	worst to give her something to quiet her. 
18	    I tried different climates, but she was no better,
  	indeed worse. At last she struggled along until the
  	first of March, 1899. She had taken to her bed again. 
21	For two days and nights she suffered, and I called a
  	physician. He came and diagnosed the case, and said
  	that he could do nothing for her but give her some
24	morphine tablets to make her rest. I gave her two
  	of them according to direction, and just before the
  	time to give her the third, she called me to her bed-
27	side, and said, "Don't give me any more of that stuff,
  	for it does me more harm than good," so I turned and
  	placed them in the fire, though I did not then know any-
30	thing about Christian Science. We had heard of it, but
 1	that was all. I gave her the last tablet at eight o'clock
  	that night, and about nine o'clock the next day a lady
 3	who had been healed in Christian Science visited her,
  	and introduced her to this great truth. She accepted it
  	and thought she would try it. The lady loaned her Sci-
 6	ence and Health. She got the book about ten o'clock
  	that day and read it until dinner was called. She ate a
  	hearty dinner, the first in about three days, and that same
 9	evening she dressed herself, walked into the dining-room,
  	ate a hearty supper and enjoyed it. She slept well that
  	night. She borrowed this lady's copy of Science and
12	Health two hours each day for eight days, and was
  	healed. The first day that she read Science and Health
  	she weighed about ninety-five pounds. Three months
15	later she weighed one hundred and thirty-five pounds.

24	                      DEAFNESS AND DROPSY HEALED 

  	     I had been deaf from childhood. I suffered intensely
  	after eating, and dropsy was another of my complaints. 
27	This, with consumption, caused one doctor to say, "It
  	puzzles me; I have never seen such a case before as
  	yours." 
30	    I met a friend who had been cured in Christian
 1	Science, and she said, "Try Christian Science." I got
  	a copy of Science and Health and in three weeks I
 3	was entirely cured. I felt uplifted. It seemed as if
  	God's arms were around and about me. I felt as if
  	heaven had come down to earth for me. After five
 6	years of suffering can any one wonder at my unspeak-
  	able gratitude? — A. B., Pittsburgh, Pa. 

HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my  room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,
  	Chicago, Ill. 

A HELPFUL TESTIMONY 

18	    Words cannot express my gratitude to God for
  	Christian Science. When I first read Science and
  	Health, I had tried every  remedy I had ever heard of. 
21	I felt no change in mind or body that I was conscious
  	of until I read page 16 of the chapter on "Prayer," in
  	Science and Health. The first words of the "spiritual
24	sense of the Lord's Prayer," telling of our Father-
  	Mother God, gave me a glimpse of heavenly light. I
  	stopped and reasoned, and remembered the teachings
27	of Jesus. The truth of man's spiritual being dawned
  	on my consciousness. I realized I was not subject to
  	mortal laws, as I had been taught all my life. I could
30	not explain how I knew this, but I knew it. Through
  	Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy had given me what
1	I had longed for all my life, — a Mother, a perfect
  	"Father-Mother God." I had known there was a
 3	great lack, and at that time I believe the orthodox
  	world had but half of the truth which Jesus came to
  	establish. When I read, "Give us this day our daily
 6	bread," and its spiritual interpretation, my tears began
  	to flow; all the years of bitterness, hate, and fear melted
  	away. I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies
 9	but Love. That day began the outward and inward
  	conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never
  	came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science
12	was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are
  	nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man,
  	and the universe. 
15	    I did not need treatment from any one, — Science
  	and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not
  	understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined
18	now that I had a little understanding of Christian
  	Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in
  	the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have
21	been all these years, the picture of perfect health. 
  	When I first read Science and Health I weighed one
  	hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun-
24	dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com-
  	pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing
  	can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing
27	has shown me the perversity of the human mind more
  	than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even
  	when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con-
30	stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking,
  	"You are not well, any one could look at you and know
  	it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look
 1	as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not
  	have had consumption." 
 3	    When I think what my life was before I had Christian
  	Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough-
  	ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work,
 6	watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work
  	rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what
  	belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life,
 9	Truth, and Love is all. — A. C. L., Kansas City, Kans. 

SAVED FROM INSANITY AND SUICIDE 

15	    A few years ago, while under a sense of darkness and
  	despair caused by ill health and an unhappy home,  Sci-
  	ence and Health was loaned me with a request that I
18	should read it. 
  	    At that time my daughter was given up by materia
  	medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have
21	been inherited. My own condition seemed even more
  	alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather
  	than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only
24	thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid-
  	ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from
  	female trouble were some of the many ailments I had
27	to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to
  	undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had
  	submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and
30	found only additional suffering as a result, so I would
  	not consent. 
 1	    When I began with Science and Health, I read the
  	chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup-
 3	pose it possible for me to remember anything I read,
  	but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power,
  	and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what
 6	I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. 
  	Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh-
  	ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily
 9	growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the
  	textbook she was well, but never having heard that the
  	reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was
12	several months before I gave God the glory. 
  	    One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head-
  	aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three
15	years the fear of them was entirely overcome. 
  	    Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received
  	treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and
18	Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy,
  	has healed us and keeps us well. 
  	    While Christian Science was very new to me, I at-
21	tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ,
  	Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy
  	woman who was about to separate from her husband. 
24	This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her
  	husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I
  	did, but not now." He told her God made man in His
27	image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said
  	to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you
  	don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been
30	looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he
  	told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a
  	short time peace and harmony were in her home, and
 1	both husband and wife became members of a Christian
  	Science church. 
 3	    This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. 
  	I had received many benefits from the study of Science
  	and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened
 6	consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I
  	knew what had taken place in that home could take place
  	in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor
 9	peace. 
  	    I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my
  	burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the
12	presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us
  	free. Not all at once did any outward change appear,
  	but at the end of three years all was peace, all the
15	members of the family attending church together and
  	realizing that there is but one Mind. — E. J. B., Supe-
  	rior, Wis. 

There is no contagion, for man is spiritual and perfect; none of God's ideas can do any harm, God's ideas arc spiritual, ministering to mall and benefiting man. There is  no material contact, for all is spiritual; no matter can touch man, man is divine; there is no matter, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. None of the lesser ideas of God harm the higher ideas, they minister to man and benefit man, and arc always in the right place. The only power and the only influence is God.

04/02/2024 ~ Control ~ Is there any progress on the human side? It is very important to keep personality out of the picture. However, one could refer to the attempt  of evil to express itself. Mary Baker Eddy states that we should keep track of progress as we are praying for the solution to any problem. We must confirm that Mind is in control of every situation. Cultivating encouragement is progressive. Evil must be exposed in order to be eradicated. The belief of proliferation of evil is easy to see visually if we accept the news as real. We must deny any reality of corruption. We must confirm that the only reality is perfection. This attitude helps to eradicate evil in the form of illegal border crossing, destruction of food resources, & energy sources & other necessities for humanity. All can be solved if we are persistent with the correct prayer treatment of one's own consciousness. THIS RECORDING ENUMERATES A LARGE VARIETY & QUANTITY OF PROGRESS IN DRAINING THE SWAMP...

There is no lack of control, for God controls and governs everything. God is cause, and the only cause, and controls man perfectly.

There are no material nerves, man's nerves arc spiritual, channels in consciousness, through which God's ideas circulate, never giving man trouble, but giving man infinite joy and happiness.

A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 

18	    I became interested in Christian Science some five
  	years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal-
  	ing to me, and  I must say, at the outset, that with my
21	little experience I have found it all and more than I ever
  	dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am
  	satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me
24	an ever-present help. 
  	    My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted
  	with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go
27	out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would
  	be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual
  	remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob-
30	stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in
 1	the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light
  	shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of
 3	Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris-
  	tian Science, save that God was the physician at all
  	times. In my own way I believed He was all-power-
 6	ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through
  	with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her
  	in God's care and see what He will do. I have done
 9	all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's
  	feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the
  	child was perfectly natural, and has since been free
12	from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some
  	months later a second test came. She woke up at nine
  	o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There
15	was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my
  	Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked
  	the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma-
18	terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go
  	back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought
  	of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation
21	I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me,
  	came to mind. She said she always found it helpful
  	to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat-
24	ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up
  	my Science and Health, and these were the words I
  	read: —  
27	    "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. 
  	The more difficult seems the material condition to be
  	overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith
30	and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There
  	is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' "
  	(Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying
 1	had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes
  	asked to be put to bed. There has been no further
 3	trouble of that kind. 
  	    I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error
  	of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton-
 6	silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far
  	more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to
  	forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism.

There arc no convulsions, for man is spiritual and perfect; there arc no spasms, all is peace, rest and harmony, There is no meaningless contraction or relaxation of the muscles,  man's muscles are God's thought forces working perfectly and divinely, with unfailing regularity, being governed and controlled by God. There is no abnormal excitement of the parts, all is peace and rest and harmony; man is governed by "tbe peace of God wbich pamtb all undmtanding" (Phil. 4 : 7). (See EPILEPS\').

No cords can shrink, for man is spiritual throughout; all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, working perfectly, ministering to man and benefiting man. Man's toes (or fingers) never  can be out of place, man's toes are the power of concentrating on details and God's ideas arc always in place, working perfectly. Man's ligaments are never affected, man's ligaments arc God's thought forces, working perfectly. No idea of God can contract and every idea reflects the unchanging God, Who is the same yesterday, to-day and forever. Man's fingers arc never impaired in movement, they are the power to grasp details, working perfectly, working continually. There are no contracted tendons, for all is spiritual and perfect. There is no contraction of any membrane, causing inability to straighten the fingers, as all is spiritual. (Work against matter). 

There are no corns, for man is spiritual; man's feet are never too hard, they arc spiritual, the power of concentration on God's ideas; this power is divine and perfect,  and always brings man delight and joy.

FREED FROM MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING 

15	    In the spring of 1880 I was taken down with a severe
  	attack of stomach trouble, was bedfast for  three months,
  	and not able to drive out for nearly six months. During
18	this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained
  	a little in strength, but had very little relief from the
  	stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral
21	springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I
  	went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre-
  	vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent
24	medicines, but no healing came. 
  	    I worried along in this way for several years. Finally
  	I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor
27	friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this
  	time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for
  	fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought
30	life was not really worth living. In connection with these
 1	troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and
  	the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called
 3	cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly
  	all the time, and this growth had made such progress
  	that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read-
 6	ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of
  	them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried
  	every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists
 9	included, without relief. 
  	    Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis-
  	couraged condition and led me to the light that never
12	knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by
  	Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this
  	work. — D. W. L., Anderson, Ind. 

RUPTURE AND OTHER SERIOUS ILLS HEALED 

  	    When I took up the study of Christian Science
27	nearly three years ago, I was suffering from a very
   	bad rupture of thirty-two years' standing. Sometimes
  	the pain was so severe that it seemed as if I could not
30	endure it. These spells would last four or five hours,
 1	and while everything was done for me that could be
  	done, no permanent relief came to me until I com-
 3	menced reading Science and Health with Key to the
  	Scriptures. After I had once looked into it I wanted to
  	read all the time. I was so absorbed in the study of
 6	the "little book" that I hardly realized when the healing
  	came, but I was healed, not only of the rupture, but also
  	of other troubles, — inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh,
 9	corns, and bunions. 
  	    I would never part with the book if I could not get
  	another. I am seventy-seven years old, and am enjoy-
12	ing very good health. — Mrs. M. E. P., St. Johnsbury, Vt. 

Whilst you are writing your letters you ought to treat, realising, for instance, that man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge.  Man is governed by God; when man works,  God works, God works by means of man, who is always saying and doing the right thing at the right time, for man is spiritual. There are no delays, everything is done instantly, God rules and governs all. Then, that your correspondents should understand your letters, you can realise that man cannot misunder- stand his fellow man, he has perfect understanding and knows Truth and understands Truth.

There is no coughing, all is peace and rest and harmony; man never coughs, man is divine and perfect. There is no pressure on the nerves, man's nerves are spiritual;  there is no inflammation to cause any pressure, all is purity and holiness; no mucus, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, pure and holy. (A continuous cough, as in the case of consumption, arises often from the muscles not being strong enough to throw up the mucus, and therefore one would realise that there are no weakened muscles, man's muscles are God's thought forces, having all power and strength. Work against mucus). 
If it is a nervous' cough, work against nerves. One can realise that no displaced spinal vertebrae or other matter can press upon the nerves, as all God's ideas arc in the right place, ministering to man and benefiting man. (In all cases work against matter). 

A HELPFUL TESTIMONY 

18	    Words cannot express my gratitude to God for
  	Christian Science. When I first read Science and
  	Health, I had tried every  remedy I had ever heard of. 
21	I felt no change in mind or body that I was conscious
  	of until I read page 16 of the chapter on "Prayer," in
  	Science and Health. The first words of the "spiritual
24	sense of the Lord's Prayer," telling of our Father-
  	Mother God, gave me a glimpse of heavenly light. I
  	stopped and reasoned, and remembered the teachings
27	of Jesus. The truth of man's spiritual being dawned
  	on my consciousness. I realized I was not subject to
  	mortal laws, as I had been taught all my life. I could
30	not explain how I knew this, but I knew it. Through
  	Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy had given me what
1	I had longed for all my life, — a Mother, a perfect
  	"Father-Mother God." I had known there was a
 3	great lack, and at that time I believe the orthodox
  	world had but half of the truth which Jesus came to
  	establish. When I read, "Give us this day our daily
 6	bread," and its spiritual interpretation, my tears began
  	to flow; all the years of bitterness, hate, and fear melted
  	away. I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies
 9	but Love. That day began the outward and inward
  	conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never
  	came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science
12	was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are
  	nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man,
  	and the universe. 
15	    I did not need treatment from any one, — Science
  	and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not
  	understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined
18	now that I had a little understanding of Christian
  	Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in
  	the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have
21	been all these years, the picture of perfect health. 
  	When I first read Science and Health I weighed one
  	hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun-
24	dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com-
  	pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing
  	can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing
27	has shown me the perversity of the human mind more
  	than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even
  	when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con-
30	stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking,
  	"You are not well, any one could look at you and know
  	it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look
 1	as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not
  	have had consumption." 
 3	    When I think what my life was before I had Christian
  	Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough-
  	ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work,
 6	watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work
  	rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what
  	belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life,
 9	Truth, and Love is all. — A. C. L., Kansas City, Kans. 

There is no want of courage, for there is nothing to be afraid of; man is and always has been spiritual and perfect. There is no fear, man is absolutely  fearless and has absolute trust in God, in good. Man never fails to do what is right, man is governed by God. When man works. God works i God works by means of man, for man is God's illfinitl' consciousness, perfect lind divine, hy mean~ of which God thinks and works and docs all. 

There is no want of-courtesy, for man is always loving and courteous.  Man is gentle and full of tact, always doing and saying the right thing at the right  time, with the object of helping his fellow man. "T~y gmllmm halh mad6 m, great" (ps. 18 : 35). 

There is no cramp, for man is spiritual i there is no meaningless contraction of the muscles, man's muscles are God's thought forces working perfectly, working divinely, always in place,  giving man joy and happiness. No material nerves ever can give pain, man's nerves are spiritual, channels in consciousness, giving man joy and happiness. None of God's ideas are ever out of place, they are always in place, assisting man and benefiting man. (Work against pain and matter).

Man can never do what is unfair, for man is governed by God; God is Truth and man is absolutely truthful. Man never takes any advantage of his fellow man,  God is the Principle of all justice and man is absolutely just. He never takes away, but always gives. He loves Truth supremely, he rejoices in the glory and the grace of Truth. "The law of his God if ill his heart " non, of hissleps shall slide" (Ps. 37 : 3 I). 

A PRICELESS BOON 

  	    I have long desired to express my gratitude for what 
24	Christian Science has don, through reading Science 
       and Health, for me and my family. I was healed of
      profanity, the tobacco habit, and a bad temper through
 27  the understanding that man is the image and likeness of 
      God. I was also healed of kidney disease and rheuma-
      tism. What surprised me most, however, was this; I
 30  had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years
  1	before. It was crooked, but it became straight and use-
      ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving
  3	a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian
      Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely
      well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also
   6   glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to
      be able to heal others. I wish to express my thankful
      appreciation of our Leader, also of the Sentinel and the
   9  Journal. — N.R.F., Salina, Kans.

A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 

18	    I became interested in Christian Science some five
  	years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal-
  	ing to me, and  I must say, at the outset, that with my
21	little experience I have found it all and more than I ever
  	dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am
  	satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me
24	an ever-present help. 
  	    My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted
  	with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go
27	out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would
  	be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual
  	remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob-
30	stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in
 1	the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light
  	shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of
 3	Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris-
  	tian Science, save that God was the physician at all
  	times. In my own way I believed He was all-power-
 6	ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through
  	with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her
  	in God's care and see what He will do. I have done
 9	all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's
  	feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the
  	child was perfectly natural, and has since been free
12	from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some
  	months later a second test came. She woke up at nine
  	o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There
15	was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my
  	Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked
  	the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma-
18	terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go
  	back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought
  	of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation
21	I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me,
  	came to mind. She said she always found it helpful
  	to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat-
24	ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up
  	my Science and Health, and these were the words I
  	read: —  
27	    "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. 
  	The more difficult seems the material condition to be
  	overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith
30	and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There
  	is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' "
  	(Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying
 1	had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes
  	asked to be put to bed. There has been no further
 3	trouble of that kind. 
  	    I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error
  	of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton-
 6	silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far
  	more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to
  	forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism.

20/06/2023 - Criticism is fault-finding. It shuts you out of heaven. It will darken all your skies. It will keep you from demonstrating for yourself and others. It will bar  you from progress. It leads you into all trouble. It leads you into all discord, into all unkindness, impatience, hard heartedness, unfriendliness—and finally into all evil, hatefulness envy. Just as long as that spirit of criticism remains in your thought, and you leave it there, just so long will not progress, just so long will you not be able to demonstrate, just so long will you not be able to find your way in Truth, because you will be looking for faults constantly......

9	                                  A HELPFUL HEALING 

  	    I became interested in Christian Science about eleven
  	years ago, and was healed of neuralgia of the stomach,
12	from which I had suffered from a child. As I grew older,
  	the spells became more frequent and more severe; the
  	only relief physicians could give me was by hypodermic
15	injections of morphine. Finally, after each spell, I would
  	be prostrated for a day or two with the after-effect of the
  	morphine. I was entirely healed of this trouble through
18	the study of Science and Health. I think I never realized
  	what fear meant until I began to try and put into practice
  	my understanding of Christian Science for my children. 
21	I have proved, however, many times, that fear can
  	neither help nor hinder in our demonstration of truth. 
  	The first time I realized this was in the overcoming of
24	a severe case of croup for my little boy. I was
  	awakened one night by the sound that seems to bring
  	terror to every mother's heart, and found the little
27	fellow sitting up in bed, gasping for breath. I got up,
  	took him in my arms, and went into the next room. 
  	My first thought was, "O if only there was another
30	Christian Scientist in town!" But there was not, and
  	the work must be done and done quickly. I tried
 1	to treat him, but was so frightened I could not think;
  	so I picked up Science and Health, which lay on the
 3	table beside me, and began reading aloud. I had read
  	but a few lines when these words came to me as though
  	a voice spoke, "The word of God is quick, and powerful,
 6	and sharper than any two-edged sword." Almost im-
  	mediately after, the little one said, "Mamma, sing 'Shep-
  	herd,' " — our Leader's hymn, that both the big and
 9	the little children love. I began singing, and commenc-
  	ing with the second line, the little voice joined me. I
  	shall never forget the feeling of joy and peace that came
12	over me, when I realized how quickly God's word, through
  	Science and Health and the beautiful hymn, had accom-
  	plished the healing work. This is only one of many
15	instances in which the power of God's word to heal has
  	been demonstrated in our home. — A. J. G., River-
  	side, Cal. 

18	                                DEAF EARS UNSTOPPED 

  	    As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and
  	gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call
21	our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me
  	and mine. 
  	    Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and
24	catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book,
  	Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted
  	and taken treatment from some of the best specialists
27	for the ear and throat, both in England and America,
  	but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady
  	who had been healed through Christian Science to buy
30	this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but
1	had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found
  	the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that
 3	time I have never had a return of the ailment. 
  	    That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the
  	daily help it is to me in my household of young chil-
 6	dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian
  	Science truly means they would give all they possess
  	to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and
 9	various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear
  	like dew before the morning sun, through the applica-
  	tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God
12	as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven
  	to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in
  	trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is
15	in the training of our children, and how quickly the child
  	grasps it. 
  	    Some time ago my little girl, then three years old,
18	dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at
  	the time. The pain was so intense that she became
  	faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept
21	holding the thought that just as soon as some one came
  	I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and
  	cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist
24	the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I
  	began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought,
  	What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac-
27	titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and
  	presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of
  	calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked
30	the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma,
  	read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her
  	from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed
 1	she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very
  	pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made
 3	an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time
  	I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth
  	before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her
 6	until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped
  	off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for-
  	got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she
 9	had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth-
  	book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. 
  	and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though
12	nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg,

27	                        A TESTIMONY FROM SCOTLAND 

   	    I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing. 
  	I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev-
30	ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 
 1	I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion
  	aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power,
 3	and thought to put them in the place of God, with
  	the consequence that I was led to do many rash and
  	foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out-
 6	look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's
  	wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and
  	thankful to know my future is in His hands and that
 9	all things must work out for the best. I have found a
  	God whom I can love and worship with my whole
  	heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and
12	understanding. 
  	    I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read-
  	ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines,
15	also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me
  	that I would always suffer from this disease, as it
  	was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever
18	when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing
  	relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness
  	of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi-
21	cines I was taking and have never touched any since,
  	and that is more than two years ago. Before this I
  	had often tried to do without a medicine that I had
24	taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had
  	to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only
  	medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 
27	    I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks,
  	colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to
  	be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say,
30	I am quite free from all those material laws and go
  	out in all sorts of weather. — R. D. F., Edinburgh,

27	                            AN EVER-PRESENT  HELP 

  	    It is a year since I began to read Science and Health,
  	and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its
30	teachings has done for me. 
 1	    My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which
  	had caused me much trouble since childhood, were
 3	very painful. For these I had been treated by some
  	of the best specialists in my native land, and after
  	coming to the United States I had been doctored
 6	much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had
  	catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without
  	being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive
 9	smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. 
  	I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors
  	freely. 
12	    The one who brought to me that which I now prize
  	so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should
  	be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 
15	He then told me of having been healed of a cancer,
  	through Christian Science treatment. He showed me
  	a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of
18	much use, and after being assured that if I did my part
  	I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of
  	the book. 
21	    My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the
  	book only three weeks I was completely healed of the
  	tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing,
24	that it did not require even as much as a resolution
  	on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading
  	Science and Health, when all the desire to continue
27	smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use
  	tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the
  	next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge
30	gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go
  	about my work with ease, and I have had no more
  	use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh
 1	has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the
  	use of liquor. 
 3	    Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present
  	help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in
  	business and daily life. It has also overcome a great

There is no danger, man is spiritual and perfect, surrounded by divine Love. An idea of God can never harm man, God is Love, and all ideas of God reflect  divine Love continually, assisting and benefiting man. (Work against matter).

There is no deafness, man has perfect understanding; man's ean arc the capacity to understand God's ideas, a divine capacity to understand any idea of God which comes to him;  a faculty of Mind, spiritual and perfect, working divinely. The ears are ideas in divine Mind, infinite, perfect and eternal, and can never deteriorate in any way, for they arc an infinite capacity of infinite Mind. There is no age, all is eternal iife. 
There is no difficulty in hearing, man hears and understands with perfect ease and infinite joy. Man is God's consciousness, always listening to God, and not one of God's ideas is ever lost, for man understands perfectly every idea that comes to him, and receives it with joy; he has perfect capacity, the Christ capacity, to understand any idea of God. The ideas unfold with perfect sequence, are thoroughly understood, and re-presented with perfect sequence, giving man infinite joy. There is no deafness, man is spiritual, his capacity to hear is a spiritual capacity, for ever perfect, and a source of infinite joy. When man speaks, God speaks, for man is God's infinite consciousness. "Tht htaring tor, and Iht ming tyt, Iht Lord halh mode tv411 both of Ihem" (Prov. 20: 12). 

18	                                DEAF EARS UNSTOPPED 

  	    As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and
  	gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call
21	our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me
  	and mine. 
  	    Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and
24	catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book,
  	Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted
  	and taken treatment from some of the best specialists
27	for the ear and throat, both in England and America,
  	but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady
  	who had been healed through Christian Science to buy
30	this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but
1	had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found
  	the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that
 3	time I have never had a return of the ailment. 
  	    That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the
  	daily help it is to me in my household of young chil-
 6	dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian
  	Science truly means they would give all they possess
  	to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and
 9	various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear
  	like dew before the morning sun, through the applica-
  	tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God
12	as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven
  	to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in
  	trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is
15	in the training of our children, and how quickly the child
  	grasps it. 
  	    Some time ago my little girl, then three years old,
18	dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at
  	the time. The pain was so intense that she became
  	faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept
21	holding the thought that just as soon as some one came
  	I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and
  	cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist
24	the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I
  	began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought,
  	What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac-
27	titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and
  	presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of
  	calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked
30	the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma,
  	read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her
  	from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed
 1	she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very
  	pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made
 3	an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time
  	I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth
  	before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her
 6	until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped
  	off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for-
  	got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she
 9	had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth-
  	book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. 
  	and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though
12	nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg,
  	Man. 

18	                           RELIEF FROM MANY  ILLS 

  	    Paul said, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your
  	mind." In my own case deafness has been overcome by
21	an enlarged understanding of God's word, as explained
  	by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health. Many times I
  	have been enabled to turn to God, to know it was His
24	will to help in trouble, and obtained the needed benefit. 
  	Catarrh has disappeared; tonsilitis, which very frequently
  	laid me aside from duties in the schoolroom and home,
27	is no longer manifest. When temptation comes (for
  	Christian Science is both preventive and curative), I turn
  	to that wonderful book, Science and Health, and my
30	precious Bible, grown dearer since read in the new light
 1	of spiritual understanding, until I know that my mind is
  	renewed, because the action is changed and the inflam-
 3	mation has abated. 
  	    Thus in my experience in Christian Science, I have seen
  	the transformation begun, and Truth is able to perfect
 6	that which is begun in me so gloriously. — Mrs. C. A.
            McL., Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. 

24	                      DEAFNESS AND DROPSY HEALED 

  	     I had been deaf from childhood. I suffered intensely
  	after eating, and dropsy was another of my complaints. 
27	This, with consumption, caused one doctor to say, "It
  	puzzles me; I have never seen such a case before as
  	yours." 
30	    I met a friend who had been cured in Christian
 1	Science, and she said, "Try Christian Science." I got
  	a copy of Science and Health and in three weeks I
 3	was entirely cured. I felt uplifted. It seemed as if
  	God's arms were around and about me. I felt as if
  	heaven had come down to earth for me. After five
 6	years of suffering can any one wonder at my unspeak-
  	able gratitude? — A. B., Pittsburgh, Pa. 

There is no death, man has Life eternal; man can never die, for God is man's Life, and "in thy pres4llCt is fllln811 of joy" (Ps. 16 : 11); man  can never lose that Life, he reflects that Life, being the consciousness of God, ever active, always "hid with Christ in God" (Col. ~ : ~). Man is always reflecting Life in its fulness and perfection in every detail. There is no material man to die, man is spiritual and eternal. Life can never cease for Life is God. There is no separation, only one Mind, God, one consciousness, man, and all men are part of that one consciousness, therefore man is instantly in touch with anyone he needs.

LIVER COMPLAINT HEALED 

 9	    As my thoughts go back to the time when I believed
  	I had nothing to live for, and when each morning's  awak-
  	ing from sleep brought a sense of disappointment to find
12	myself still among the living (for I had hoped each night
  	that I closed my eyes in sleep that it would be the last
  	time), my heart overflows with love and gratitude to
15	God for our dear Leader who discovered this blessed
  	truth and to the dear ones who have helped me so lov-
  	ingly and patiently over many rough places. 
18	    Twelve years ago, I consulted a physician because I
  	had noticed some odd-looking spots on one of my arms. 
  	He said they were liver spots, but that it was not worth
21	while prescribing for those few, that I should wait until
  	I was covered with them. About three months later,
  	with the exception of my face and hands, I was covered
24	with them. Then I became alarmed and called on
  	another physician who prescribed for me, but he finally
  	said he could do no more for me. Other physicians
27	were consulted with no better results. Six years ago,
  	friends advised me to see their family physician, and
  	when I called on him he said he was positive he could
30	cure me, so I asked him to prescribe for me. At the
 1	end of two years, after prescribing steadily, he said I
  	was so full of medicine that he was afraid to have me
 3	take any more, and advised a rest. After having paid
  	out a small fortune, I was no better, and very much
  	discouraged. 
 6	    Two years ago, having failed in business, I applied to
  	one of my patrons for a furnished room where I could
  	meet the few I still had left. This lady, who is a Christian
 9	Scientist, loaned me Science and Health, and because
  	she asked me so often how I was getting on with the
  	book, I began reading it. I also attended the Wednes-
12	day evening meetings which I found very interesting. 
  	After hearing the testimonies at the meetings, I decided
  	to speak to some practitioner about these spots, but
15	not until I had at least a hundred dollars on hand, be-
  	cause I thought I would require that amount for treat-
  	ments, as I had been accustomed to paying high prices. 
18	I had not inquired about prices, and in fact did not speak
  	to any one about my intentions, because I felt sensitive
  	on this subject. When I had read about half of Science
21	and Health, I missed the spots, and upon searching
  	could find no trace of them. They had entirely dis-
  	appeared without treatment. In a few weeks the read-
24	ing of that book had accomplished what materia medica
  	had failed to accomplish in ten years. It is impossible
  	to express the feeling of relief and happiness which came
   27    over me then. — C. K., Astoria, N. Y. 

HEALED OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE 

30	    August 18, 1902, I was taken down with what three
  	doctors pronounced Bright's disease, and they stated
 1	that I would not  live a year, or if I did succeed in liv-
  	ing longer, I would be mentally unbalanced. On De-
 3	cember 6, 1902, my wife presented me with Science and
  	Health as a birthday gift, and it was indeed the
  	best present I ever received. Since that time I
 6	have been reading it and attending Second Church
  	here. I have not used any medicine since, nor has any
  	one in our home. I am in the finest of health and have
 9	lost all my bad habits. This truth has brought a great
  	spiritual uplifting to all of us, and words cannot express
  	my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to all who have helped
12	me to the same. — T. V., Chicago, Ill. 

1	                          A VOICE FROM THE  SOUTH 

  	    I was delicate from childhood, and my parents did
 3	not think it was possible for me to live more than a
  	few years. I lived, however, although there was not
  	much improvement in my health. Travel and change
 6	of climate brought only temporary relief, and the physi-
  	cians gave me no hope that I would ever be well. 
  	    As a last resort I began the study of Science and
 9	Health, and before I had finished reading the book I
  	realized that its author was divinely commissioned to
  	bring this spiritual message to a waiting world. Through
12	this reading my health was restored, and I was healed
  	of one disease that has been called incurable by all
  	physicians. 
15	    For this, together with the greater and higher bless-
  	ing of having the spiritual fact of being unfolded to me,
  	I am most grateful. 
18	    What shall be rendered for such benefits received and
  	made possible by the consecrated life of our revered
  	Leader? Only by following the teachings of our text-
21	book, and by loving obedience to her gentle and timely
  	admonitions can we show our true sense of gratitude.
  	 — F. H. D., De Funiak Springs, Fla. 

HEALED OF RHEUMATISM AND BRIGHT'S DISEASE 

21	    I am very thankful to God for what He has done for
  	me. I was suddenly left alone, with  many troubles
  	and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I
24	was trying to understand it, prior to joining some
  	church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I
  	had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood
27	up, but never could find any that met my need. As
  	time passed on, my condition became very alarming. 
  	Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some
30	years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 
 1	Then there appeared some complications, so distressing
  	that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre-
 3	quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — 
  	such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer-
  	ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very
 6	near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it
  	now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro-
  	bation, and I would be dead before that. 
 9	    About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in
  	reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to
  	that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had
12	been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth
  	and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science
  	and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find
15	out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then to live long. 
  	I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and
  	Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be
18	saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged
  	me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and
  	praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where
21	had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science
  	and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl-
  	edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do
24	everything, that He made everything that was made,
  	that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed
  	me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles-
27	ton, Ill. 

FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE AND JOY 

  	    I have often had a desire to make public what Chris-
18	tian Science has done for me, but I  never could tell of
  	all my blessings, they are so many. From childhood
  	I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was
21	under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in
  	the East at that time, and was advised to try change of
  	climate, which I did. I came West with my family in
24	the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I
  	grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep
  	my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My
27	ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and
  	were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis-
  	ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was
30	known among physicians, many of whom were prominent
 1	specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking
  	at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head
 3	and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who
  	were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their
  	power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was
 6	pronounced on me by all who attended me. 
  	    It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's
  	opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this
 9	hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal
  	me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it,
  	read it again, and soon found myself growing stronger;
12	then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the
  	supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn. 

A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND 

  	    It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
18	and to our dear Leader, that I send this  testimony to
  	the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
  	been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
21	life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
  	very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
  	two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be-
24	hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several
  	others, so that with these ills my life was often a
  	burden to me and I used to think I never should re-
27	ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for
  	God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
  	as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
30	His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 
 1	I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
  	Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
 3	presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
  	believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
  	tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
 6	looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
  	Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
  	I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
 9	Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
  	other Christian Science literature for a year. After
  	studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
12	day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
  	no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
  	perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
15	Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
  	ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
  	can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
18	and had for several years been obliged to use special
  	glasses when reading or working, and could never use
  	my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
21	reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
  	in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
  	est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
24	cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
  	that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
  	rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
27	Ireland. 

Man can never fail to receive what is due to him, God's ideas continually unfold to man and man re-presents them to his fellow man. Man is always loving and  just, passing on God's ideas immediately they are received; these ideas unfold with unfailing regularity, giving man joy and happiness. There is no necessity to enforce payment; man willingly gives ideas in return for all ideas received. (Work for supply for the debtor).

INTENSE SUFFERING OVERCOME 

21	    For about five years I was afflicted with sciatic rheu-
  	matism, in such a severe form that my body was drawn
   	out of shape. When able to be around, I walked with
24	the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical,
  	recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or
  	dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed
27	eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when
  	relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these
  	attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 
30	My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 
 1	would have to be an operation which would include
  	the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There
 3	was also another physician who, knowing of the case,
  	examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and
  	that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart
 6	trouble. 
  	    After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science,
  	but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de-
 9	cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon
  	it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took
  	Science and Health and applied its teachings as best
12	I could. In three days the trouble completely left
  	me and there has never been the slightest return. My
  	health has been good ever since, and I am at present
15	in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in
  	every way by Christian Science, physically, mentally, and
  	spiritually, and would not be without my understand-
18	ing of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings,

There is no delay, everything passes instantly in Mind; man is never ill want of anyone or anything, for all that man needs is the ideas of (jod, and there  arc: infinite ideas in Millu, instantly available to .111 ; these ideas unfold with unfailing regularity, id\."a after idea, and man re-presents these ideas instantly. There is no mortal mind to prevent the unfolding and re-presenting of these ideas, as there is only one Mind, God, and man has instantly any idea he needs. God's ideas never fail to be in the right place, for God is the Principle of law and all order, and a\l God's ideas arc governed by law and by order. Everything is done perfectly, and at the right time. Love is the power that causes the ideas to circulate in Mind with unfailing punctuality, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God.

See PROCRASTINATION

There is no depression; man reflects Gpd, Life, and is tilled with a glorious sense of vitality, absolutely joyous, "In Ihy pruente ;s fulness of joy" (Ps .. 16 :  II). Love is the power which spreads joy throughout infinite Mind, and man is forever conscious of infinite joy, always passing on God's ideas, giving his fellow man joy and happiness, and receiving ideas in exchange which give him joy and happiness. Man can never fail to carry God's message, hc knows Truth; man never fails to reflect Truth in such a way as to cause delight and joy, and in expressing Truth gives infinite joy to infinite beings and receives infinite joy therefrom. "Tht sons of God shoUltd for joy" (Job ~8 : 7). 

There is no desertion, man is always in the right place, helping and benefiting his fellow man; man can never leave anyone, for there is only one Mind, God, one  consciousness, man, and man is instantly in touch with his fe\low man; man is never in the wrong place, man is always in Mind, in God, being God's consciousness. Man can never do what is wrong, he is led and governed by God. Man can never cause misery, for God is Love, and a\l men reflect that Love. and arc absolutely loving. Man can never want to be with anyone else than the right one, for man is governed by God, the Principle of all law and order. (Work for love.

There are no false desires, man desires only the ideas of GOd.

1	                      THROUGH GREAT TRIBULATIONS 

  	     When I attempt to make plain what Christian Science
 3	has done for me, words fail me. For twenty years
  	I was a constant sufferer, my spine having been
  	injured when I was very young. As a little child I
 6	suffered so much that I would look up to the stars
  	and beg God, who I thought might be up there
  	somewhere, to take me away from the earth, — I was
 9	so tired. A great wall of pain seemed to separate me
  	from the pleasures enjoyed by others, and I could not
  	explain how I felt, because no one could understand. 
12	Years passed, and I saw my earthly happiness swept
  	away; my heart was broken and I did not know what
  	to do. I cried for help, day after day and night after
15	night, although I was not sure what God was, nor where
  	He was. I only knew that I suffered, and was
  	in need of help, and that there was no earthly help
18	for either mind or body. I loved purity, truth, and
  	right always, and this made evil seem a most terrible
  	reality. I was unable to cope with it, and so found
21	myself in despair. This was my condition when I com-
  	menced reading Science and Health. I was ready for
  	its message, and in about ten days there came a won-
24	derful insight into the truth which heals the sick and
  	binds up the broken-hearted. All pain left me, I had
  	a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth, and
27	was beginning to be fed by Love divine. 
  	    I had suffered for years with insomnia. That night
  	I rested like a child, and awoke the next morning well
30	and happy. A flood of light daily illumined the pages
  	of the "little book," and the revelation it holds for all

  	all understanding" rested upon me, and joy too deep for
 3	words transformed my life. My prayers were answered,
  	for I had found God in Christian Science. 
  	    The Bible, which I knew very little about, became
 6	my constant study, my joy, and my guide. The copy
  	which I bought at the time of my healing is marked
  	from Genesis to Revelation. It was so constantly
 9	in my hands for three years that the cover became
  	worn and the leaves loose, so it has been laid away
  	for a new one. Two and three o'clock in the morning
12	often found me poring over its pages, which grew
  	more and more sacred to me every day, and the help
  	I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can
15	find no words to express my gratitude. — I. L., Los

  	    In love and gratitude to God, and to Mrs. Eddy, the
 3	interpreter of Jesus' beautiful teachings, I wish to tell
  	of some of the benefits which I have received from
  	Christian Science. It is a little over a year since
 6	Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically
  	as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years'
  	standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble,
 9	made almost unbearable from the constant fear of
  	losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my
  	mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years'
12	standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy
  	conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I
  	had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and
15	I did not know where to turn for help. At that time
  	Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall
  	never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that
18	an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was
  	all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in
  	Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 
21	I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. 
  	    All this has come to pass in one short year, and my
  	earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be
24	called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for
  	an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J.,
  	Chicago, Ill.

There is no diabetes, for man is spiritual and perfect. 
There is no excessive thirst, man is always perfectly satisfied. 
There is no excessive production of sugar which has to  be eliminated, for all function is spiritual and is under the sole control of God, the Principle of law and order. 

God's control means perfect and exquisite adjustment, and each idea performs its own special function in perfect harmony with all other ideas. 

There is no waste, everything is in its place, every idea of God being utilised to the uttermost. There is no disorder, all is perfect harmony, for every idea is eternally governed by God, Love, and by God only. There is no excess of sugar, for all is spiritual, and every idea of God is in its right place.
No idea of God is ever wasted; all God's ideas are fully utilised to the uttermost. Only God's ideas unfold to man and only ideas of God are passed on; these arc passed on in perfect order, for God is the Principle of all law and order.

If necessary, realise that man's pancreas is a divine idea, never out of order, man’s pancreas is spiritual, the reflection of God as Spirit, the Principle of all goodness and holiness, working perfectly with absolute regularity and ease. 

Then to minimise the apparent effect of the reduced diet, usually ordered, realise that there is no want of assimilation of the food, man's food is the ideas of God, which man digests, assimilates and understands perfectly, these ideas feed man and nourish man and give him increase. 
There is no emaciation, the ideas of God feed man and nourish man, and man reflects substance and entity and is full and complete.

08/07/2023 -  This is not from Mary Baker Eddy but it is utilizing the inspiration from the Diapason of Heaven by Mary Baker Eddy Class Notes 1881 to 1898.  But it is from extemporaneous inspiration in an expanded form. One of the terms which is really a two word terms for Mind is creative ability. This appears to be the beginning when one desires to think about any topic. Science and Health indicates that all creative ability is from MIND and of course God is Mind. Infact, everything that is real is God. For there is nothing but God. God is all in all.

The Metaphysical college was conducted between the years of 1881 to 1898 in Boston by Mary Baker Eddy. These students were selected by Mary Baker Eddy after a screening process.  The ones in the final class of 1898 were given the designation of CSD meaning Doctor of Christian Science. These are class notes from some of her students for those years and very valuable information. The Diapason of Heaven is for each of the 7 synonyms. These are very short treatments that Mary Baker Eddy recommends for treatment. They should be repeated often... CLICK media for more details

AN EVER-PRESENT HELP FOUND 

24	    On the 23rd of March, 1900, I received from one of my
  	daughters a copy of Science and Health on my  seventy-first
  	birthday. Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers
27	and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci-
  	ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco
  	newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the
30	Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 
 1	    In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of
  	thought that was not readily understood at the first read-
 3	ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal
  	of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu-
  	ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation
 6	in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One
  	afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks
  	of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim-
 9	ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. 
  	I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive
  	it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the
12	back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force,
  	into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about
  	twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the
15	snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand
  	there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and
  	another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 
18	"Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery
  	for you," and without further ceremony, I began to
  	treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the
21	result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and
  	so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I
  	paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my
24	work, and then went to supper. When I washed my
  	face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block
  	of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to
27	bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain
  	on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand
  	there was another big lump on the right side, but I
30	treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an
  	hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw
  	was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on
 1	the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since
  	disappeared. 
 3	    In summing up the benefits I have received from
  	the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to
  	a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862),
 6	when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near
  	making an end of my material existence. My hearing,
  	also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon
 9	firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where
  	I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now
  	eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind
12	is giving me a rest which I never experienced before
  	during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for
  	the divine presence that was always near, though I did
15	not know it. — L. B., Baldy, N. M. 

There is no diarrhoea, all activity is governed by God, the Principle of all law and order; God's ideas never pass prematurely, but unfold with perfect sequence and are re-presented  with unfailing regularity at the right time and in the right way.

FREED FROM NEURASTHENIC AND OTHER TROUBLES 

21	    Christian Science found in me a minister's son who
  	had failed to profit by continuous teaching in the old
   	thought. Some years ago I was pronounced by a pro-
24	fessor of materia medica, whose works are in general use,
  	a neurasthenic. I had been in this condition more or less
  	for eight years, and up to two years ago, when Christian
27	Science was first brought to my attention (thanks to Al-
  	mighty God) through a kind friend, I was almost con-
  	stantly taking medicine and had in all eleven physicians
30	who undoubtedly did their best, but without avail, not-
 1	withstanding almost all known drugs were prescribed,
  	and further I had tried very many patent medicines. I
 3	was also put through forms of hygienic treatment and
  	other things that offered inducements. At the time of
  	coming into Science I was taking three times daily forty
 6	minims of cod-liver oil and three of creosote, also three
  	drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and on the month
  	or so previous had bought eighteen dollars' worth of
 9	patent medicine. I was restricted to the simplest means
  	of diet, — all stews, fries, sweets, berries, and tomatoes I
  	had not touched for two years. 
12	    I started to read Science and Health, and before I had
  	half finished the book once I was eating everything that
  	any one does. I read the book eleven times straight
15	ahead and many times skipping about. The book
  	has done the work and I am a well man. — C. E. M.,
  	Philadelphia, Pa. 

I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that  man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors.
When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food.

In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me.

I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach.

From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all.

HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my  room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,
  	Chicago, Ill. 

DYSPEPSIA QUICKLY HEALED 

  	    It has occurred to me that I have had ample time to
30	meditate on the many blessings which I have received
 1	through  Christian Science, as it is now more than six
  	years since I was entirely healed of dyspepsia as well as
 3	constipation in its worst form by the reading of Science
  	and Health. So aggravated were the conditions that for
  	three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold
 6	water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my
  	only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water
  	injections, for a period of more than three years. 
 9	    I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might
  	say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading
  	Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not
12	think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when
  	I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and
  	drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect
15	from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop
  	of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam-
  	ily of five. 
18	    I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our
  	home by having our youngest child relieved of the most
  	excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood,
21	immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi-
  	tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be
  	thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy,
24	whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this
  	precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M. C.
  	McK., Denver, Col. 

There are no difficulties to be overcome, everything works perfectly, as God rules and governs everything. God's ideas unfold with perfect sequence and are re-presented with perfect sequence. All things  work together for good in the spontaneous harmony of God's perfect world. There is only one Mind and all ideas circulate perfectly in that Mind. Man is always helping his fellow man, for God is Love and all men are loving. There is no separate mind or person, there is only one Mind, God, working perfectly by means of all the spiritual beings. (Never allow the thought of difficulty to enter your mind for a moment. A thought cannot act unless it gets into your consciousness).

There is no diphtheria, man's throat is spiritual, the channel in consciousness through which God's ideas come and go; it remains true to its nature as a perfect and free  channel. There is no false mem- brane, man's throat is spiritual and reflects God, the Principle of purity and holiness. Nothing can obstruct man's breathing, man receives God's ideas with ease and radiates them forth again to the glory of God and the joy of infinite beings. There is no difficulty in speaking, when man speaks, God speaks: God speaks by means of man, and the idea.'1 unfold and are re-presented continually, with unfailing ease and harmony. (Then work against weak heart, poison in the system and blood, germs, fear and false medical beliefs).

There is no disappointment, man is absolutely joyous; man never fails to do or receive anything he needs, for God's ideas continually unfold with unfailing regularity and ease, as and  when needed. There is no mortal mind to cause any trouble, there is only one Mind, God, infinite good, and man is governed by that Mind, absolutely jnyrms, thinking only 'Jf God and Cod's ideas.

LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS 

21	    I have received so much benefit from the testimonies
  	in the Sentinel and Journal that I send mine, hoping
  	it  may cheer some struggling heart. I was reared by
24	kind and loving Christian parents and was a member
  	of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was
  	never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down
27	by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov-
  	erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything
  	I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and
30	failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 
 1	My interest was first awakened to Christian Science
  	about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis-
 3	ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and
  	Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis,
  	and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian
 6	Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and
  	physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit-
  	ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both
 9	able and willing to care for His children, if we are but
  	willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though
  	it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 
12	Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has
  	enabled me to help others. 
  	    The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what
15	Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that
  	labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 
  	    My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the
18	work she has done and is still doing for the world, and
  	to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the
  	truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Neither animosity nor mere personal attachment should impel the motives or acts of the members of The Mother Church. In Science, divine Love alone governs man; and a Christian Scientist  reflects the sweet amenities of Love, in rebuking sin, in true brotherliness, charitableness, and forgiveness. The members of this Church should daily watch and pray to be delivered from all evil, from prophesying, judging, condemning, counseling, influencing or being influenced erroneously. [Manual 40]

There is no discoloration, all is spiritual and perfect, refil!cting Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness. There arc no stains, God's ideas are perfect. Every idea of God  is in its right place, ministering to and benefiting man. All God's ideas work harmoniously together, giving man joy and happiness, for God is the Principle of all law and order.

MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME 

  	    In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I
18	read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who
   	hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous
  	light." The periodicals so wisely established by our
21	Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises
  	of Truth. 
  	    From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into
24	the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and
  	living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the
  	light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt
27	and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of
  	good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science
  	textbook has done for me. 
30	    At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach-
 1	ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from
  	my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 
 3	For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist
  	for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come
  	as many more months before a cure could be effected. 
 6	At this time, Science and Health was brought to my
  	notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed
  	by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed
 9	that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of
  	blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant
  	manifestations. I did not go back to the physician
12	until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the
  	way, was more than five times the price of the Science
  	and Health I had purchased). From the time I read
15	the book I taught steadily without losing time from my
  	work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other
  	ways. 
18	    Through reading the textbook I learned that God has
  	given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is
  	the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu-
21	lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake
  	fatigue and discord. 
  	    Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and
24	to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be-
  	came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts
  	to put into practice what has been taught. — T. H. A.,

18	             KIDNEY DISEASE AND EYE TROUBLE HEALED 

  	    Early in 1904 I was  teaching in a private boarding-
  	school. I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I
21	had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general
  	health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate
  	did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 
24	The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my
  	own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I
  	struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a
27	month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot
  	of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often
  	thought that life was not worth living. In September,
30	1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science
 1	through a girl who was attending our boarding-school,
  	and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 
 3	We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key
  	to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation
  	it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I
 6	had read Science and Health but a very short time when
  	I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found
  	myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought
 9	harmony into our school, where there had been discord,
  	and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de-
  	scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris-
12	tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless
  	the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. 
  	    My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words
15	only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as
  	myself, and following meekly and obediently all our
  	Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude
18	to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van-
  	couver, B. C. 

There is no discouragement, man is absolutely joyous. Man recognises that he is "'he power of God, ond the wisdom of God" (I Cor. I : 24) and does perfect  work continually, helping and benefiting his fellow man, receiving ideas in exchange, God's ideas, which give man inlinite joy and happiness, "In 14;' pment'e if/u/nm o/joy" (Ps. 16: II). MaR never fails in anything he desires to do, for God works by mons of man; God is the only power and the only ruler, for God is cause and the only cause.

FREED FROM MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING 

15	    In the spring of 1880 I was taken down with a severe
  	attack of stomach trouble, was bedfast for  three months,
  	and not able to drive out for nearly six months. During
18	this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained
  	a little in strength, but had very little relief from the
  	stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral
21	springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I
  	went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre-
  	vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent
24	medicines, but no healing came. 
  	    I worried along in this way for several years. Finally
  	I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor
27	friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this
  	time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for
  	fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought
30	life was not really worth living. In connection with these
 1	troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and
  	the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called
 3	cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly
  	all the time, and this growth had made such progress
  	that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read-
 6	ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of
  	them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried
  	every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists
 9	included, without relief. 
  	    Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis-
  	couraged condition and led me to the light that never
12	knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by
  	Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this
  	work. — D. W. L., Anderson, Ind. 

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER HEALED 

  	    When Christian Science came to me, I had been tak-
15	ing medicine every day for twenty years, on account of
   	constipation. I had been treated by doctors and spe-
  	cialists; had taken magnetic treatments and osteopathy;
18	had tried change of climate; had an operation in a hospital,
  	and when I came out was worse than before. I was
  	so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard
21	of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed
  	as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend
  	suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard
24	that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought
  	this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this
  	was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book,
27	Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of
  	curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped
  	by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine
30	and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I,
 1	however, dropped my medicine and read for three days;
  	then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed
 3	of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since. 
  	I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since,
  	and other ailments have disappeared. My little daughter
 6	has also been healed and has learned to use this knowledge
  	in her school work. — Mrs. O. R., Leadville, Col. 

Most of my boyhood days were spent in the hands of physicians. From birth I was considered a very weakly child, but my mother was brave, and being much devoted  to me did everything within her knowledge and power for my comfort. Sickness and medicine were continually before me, and by the time I reached my teens I thought I knew a material remedy for every ill. I continued in my delusion, because I was never told the real cause of my trouble. Besides being under a leading specialist for two years, I was also an outdoor patient at a noted hospital, but I was not healed. It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible.

From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause.

Man can never have any disease, man is spiritual and perfect; there are no false medical beliefs, only God's thoughts can come to man; no material germs can harm man,  all God's ideas arc spiritual; the lesser ideas can never harm the higher ideas, they minister to man and benefit man; all God's ideas ate in the right place at the right time. There is no matter, there is only Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. (Work against any symptoms). 

A CONVINCING INVESTIGATION 

  	    While I have testified to those around me and in many
30	localities, of my healing in Christian Science, I feel that
 1	it  is high time I put the candle in the candlestick where
  	all who will may see. My earliest recollection was a day
 3	of suffering, — a physical inheritance from my mother,
  	which gave simple interest for a time until years ad-
  	vanced and compound interest was added. My father
 6	was a physician, and material remedies were used for
  	my mother without avail, consequently his confidence
  	in them for me was shaken, — in fact he often told me
 9	it was better to suffer without medicine than become a
  	chronic doser, without pain. 
  	    I began teaching in early life and continued for more
12	than twenty years, and during that time not a day passed
  	without pain, or fear of pain, and only for my innate
  	love of life it would have become an intolerable burden. 
15	For five years oatmeal was my chief food and I became
  	almost as attached to it as Kaspar Hauser to his crust. 
  	I was early taught to have faith in God, and many times
18	was relieved of pain only to have it appear again in an
  	aggravated form. 
  	    At last my heart cried out for the living God, and
21	the answer came by one of His messengers, who told
  	me of Christian Science. I replied that I believed God
  	could heal, but that I had no faith in the healing of Chris-
24	tian Science, but would like to investigate its theology,
  	as it might aid in giving me some clue to the meaning
  	of life. For three years I had searched the works of
27	the most scientific writers to find the origin of life; many
  	times I would think I had traced it to the beginning,
  	but it would elude my grasp every time. One day in
30	talking with my friend, she said she would like to loan
  	me the textbook, Science and Health, which I very will-
  	ingly accepted. Not long afterward I felt a severe
 1	attack of suffering. I opened the book for the first
  	time and found a paragraph near the middle which
 3	attracted my attention. I read the same paragraph over
  	and over for nearly two hours. When the tea bell rang
  	I closed the book and I shall never forget my per-
 6	ception of the new heaven and the new earth, — every-
  	thing in nature that I could see seemed to have been
  	washed and made clean. The flowers that I have
 9	always loved so much, and that from childhood had
  	told me such sweet stories, now spoke to me of the
  	All-in-all, the hearts of my friends seemed kinder, — I
12	had touched the hem of the garment of healing. 
  	    I ate my supper that evening forgetful of the prepa-
  	rations I had made for suffering, and when the next
15	day began I was more zealous of good work than ever
  	before. Since closing Science and Health at my first
  	reading I have never been able to find the paragraph
18	which I had read so many times over, the words seemed
  	to have slipped away from me, but my joy knew no
  	bounds at having found the pearl of great price. By
21	the continued reading of the book I was entirely
  	healed, and for fourteen years I have not seen a day
  	of physical suffering. — Miss L. M., Rome, N. Y. 

FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE AND JOY 

  	    I have often had a desire to make public what Chris-
18	tian Science has done for me, but I  never could tell of
  	all my blessings, they are so many. From childhood
  	I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was
21	under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in
  	the East at that time, and was advised to try change of
  	climate, which I did. I came West with my family in
24	the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I
  	grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep
  	my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My
27	ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and
  	were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis-
  	ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was
30	known among physicians, many of whom were prominent
 1	specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking
  	at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head
 3	and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who
  	were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their
  	power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was
 6	pronounced on me by all who attended me. 
  	    It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's
  	opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this
 9	hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal
  	me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it,
  	read it again, and soon found myself growing stronger;
12	then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the
  	supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn. 

1	                          A VOICE FROM THE  SOUTH 

  	    I was delicate from childhood, and my parents did
 3	not think it was possible for me to live more than a
  	few years. I lived, however, although there was not
  	much improvement in my health. Travel and change
 6	of climate brought only temporary relief, and the physi-
  	cians gave me no hope that I would ever be well. 
  	    As a last resort I began the study of Science and
 9	Health, and before I had finished reading the book I
  	realized that its author was divinely commissioned to
  	bring this spiritual message to a waiting world. Through
12	this reading my health was restored, and I was healed
  	of one disease that has been called incurable by all
  	physicians. 
15	    For this, together with the greater and higher bless-
  	ing of having the spiritual fact of being unfolded to me,
  	I am most grateful. 
18	    What shall be rendered for such benefits received and
  	made possible by the consecrated life of our revered
  	Leader? Only by following the teachings of our text-
21	book, and by loving obedience to her gentle and timely
  	admonitions can we show our true sense of gratitude.
  	 — F. H. D., De Funiak Springs, Fla. 

27	                                A CRITIC CONVINCED 

  	    With gratitude to God I acknowledge my lifelong
  	debt to Christian Science. In 1895 I attended my first
 1	Christian Science meeting, and was deeply impressed
  	with the earnestness of the people and the love re-
 3	flected, but as for the spiritual healing of the physical
  	body, I did not believe such a thing to be possible. 
  	I bought Science and Health and studied it to be
 6	able to dispute intelligently with the supposedly de-
  	luded followers of Christian Science. I pursued the
  	study carefully and thoroughly, and I have had abun-
 9	dant reason since to be glad that I did, for through this
  	study, and the resultant understanding of my rela-
  	tion to God, I was healed of a disease with which I
12	had been afflicted since childhood and for which there
  	was no known remedy. Surely my experience has
  	been the fulfilling in part of the Scripture: "He sent
15	His Word and healed them, and delivered them from
  	their destructions." I believe that Science and Health
  	reveals the Word referred to by David. — C. A. B. B.,
18	Kansas City, Mo. 

GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 

 9	    In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At
  	that time I was greatly in need of its healing  truth. 
  	For a number of years previous I had been a semi-
12	invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong
  	again. Several years before this time I had undergone
  	an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three
15	years previous to my study of Science and Health
  	by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache
  	caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the
18	internal organs. At the time I began the study of
  	Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. 
  	    I began to read Science and Health, and did not
21	take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall
  	be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it,
  	and will have nothing to do with it." I became a
24	devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left
  	me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten
  	years ago, neither my two children nor myself have
27	taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth
  	has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of
  	illness. 
30	    I was a devoted member of an orthodox church,
 1	but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs,
  	and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an-
 3	swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend-
  	ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught
  	there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as
 6	an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God
  	as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my
  	questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had
 9	always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when
  	the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my
  	family, I prayed as only those can who know that if
12	He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were
  	unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There
  	is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may
15	know." 
  	    Only those who know the attitude of mind that I
  	was in can understand the joy that came to me as I
18	began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my
  	relation to Him. 
  	    Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of
21	His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years
  	ago, when we were in a far distant country, where
  	Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter
24	came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother,
  	I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I
  	am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands,
27	and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore,
  	and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work
  	in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the
30	college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear
  	destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P.,
  	Boston, Mass. 

I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that  man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors.
When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food.

In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me.

I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach.

From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all.

18	                                DEAF EARS UNSTOPPED 

  	    As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and
  	gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call
21	our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me
  	and mine. 
  	    Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and
24	catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book,
  	Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted
  	and taken treatment from some of the best specialists
27	for the ear and throat, both in England and America,
  	but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady
  	who had been healed through Christian Science to buy
30	this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but
1	had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found
  	the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that
 3	time I have never had a return of the ailment. 
  	    That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the
  	daily help it is to me in my household of young chil-
 6	dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian
  	Science truly means they would give all they possess
  	to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and
 9	various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear
  	like dew before the morning sun, through the applica-
  	tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God
12	as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven
  	to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in
  	trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is
15	in the training of our children, and how quickly the child
  	grasps it. 
  	    Some time ago my little girl, then three years old,
18	dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at
  	the time. The pain was so intense that she became
  	faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept
21	holding the thought that just as soon as some one came
  	I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and
  	cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist
24	the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I
  	began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought,
  	What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac-
27	titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and
  	presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of
  	calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked
30	the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma,
  	read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her
  	from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed
 1	she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very
  	pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made
 3	an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time
  	I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth
  	before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her
 6	until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped
  	off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for-
  	got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she
 9	had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth-
  	book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. 
  	and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though
12	nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg,
  	Man. 

21	                      GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 

  	     It is with sincere gratitude for the many blessings Chris-
  	tian Science has brought me, that I give this testimony. 
24	I first heard of Christian Science about fifteen years
  	ago. A friend of mine was taking treatment for physical
  	troubles, and was reading the textbook of Christian
27	Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. 
  	The title of the book appealed to me very strongly. I
  	said to my friend, "If that is a Key to the Scriptures,
30	I must have it." 
 1	    I had long been a member of a Bible class in an or-
  	thodox Sabbath school, but I never felt satisfied with
 3	that which was taught; there was something lacking,
  	I did not understand then what it was. I purchased a
  	copy of Science and Health and began to study it. I
 6	wish I could express in words what that book brought
  	me. It illumined the Bible with a glorious light and I
  	began to understand some of the Master's sayings, and
 9	tried to apply them. 
  	    I had had a longing to live a better Christian life for
  	many years, and often wondered why I failed so utterly
12	to understand the Bible. Now I knew; it was lack of
  	spiritual apprehension. 
  	    I did not know at first that people were healed of dis-
15	ease and sin by simply reading Science and Health,
  	but found after a while that such was the case. At
  	that time I had many physical troubles, and one after
18	another of these ills simply disappeared and I found
  	that I had no disease, — I was perfectly free. The
  	spiritual uplifting was glorious, too, and as I go on in the
21	study of this blessed Science, I find I am gaining surely
  	an understanding that helps me to overcome both sin and
  	disease in myself and in others. My faith in good is in-
24	creased and I know I am losing my belief in evil as a power
  	equal to good. The pathway is not wearisome, because
  	each victory over self gives stronger faith and a more
27	earnest desire to press on. — E. J. R., Toledo, Ohio. 

21	              AN EXPRESSION OF LOVING GRATITUDE 

  	    In the spring of 1893,  while studying for the minis-
  	try, Science and Health was placed in my hands, and
24	the truth contained therein at once became to me the
  	pearl of great price. I literally devoured the book,
  	reading it about eighteen hours a day. Its originality
27	was startling, upsetting my preconceived opinions of
  	God, man, and creation. Two sentences especially
  	appealed to me: "The foundation of mortal discord is a
30	false sense of man's origin" (p. 262), and, "For right
 1	reasoning, there should be but one fact before the thought,
  	namely, spiritual existence" (p. 492). I had found the
 3	keynote to the Science of being as taught in this marvel-
  	lous book, and persevered until a glimpse of the new heav-
  	ens and new earth came, for the old were passing away. 
 6	With this spiritual uplifting came also physical health. 
  	    All my life had been spent in semi-invalidism, and
  	I seemed destined to a life of suffering. In three
 9	weeks after beginning Science and Health, to my joy-
  	ful surprise I found myself a well man, sound physi-
  	cally, and uplifted spiritually. Life was being lived
12	from a new basis, the old things of personal sense
  	were passing away and all things becoming new. I
  	learned that the infinite good is the one Friend upon
15	whom we can call at all times, an all-powerful, ever-
  	present help in every time of trouble; that His children
  	are really governed in peace and harmony by spiritual
18	law, and as the right understanding of it is gained, the
  	other things soon follow, bringing a peace the human
  	concept can never know. 
21	    For the last twelve years my whole time has been
  	devoted to Christian Science practice, and I have seen
  	nearly every so-called incurable disease healed by its
24	beneficent influence. God bless our dear Leader! She
  	has set before us an open door, which no man can shut,
  	and it is but a question of time when the world will know
27	her better and love her more. — E. E. N., Washington,

There is no dishonesty, man is absolutely honest, for he is spiritual and divine. Man never docs what he ought not to do, for man is governed by God; God  works by means of man. God is Truth and therefore man is absolutely truthful, always helping and benefiting his fellow man. Man cannot be misled, God is the Principle of all knowledge, and man is God's consciousness, therefore man knows instantly everything necessary.

Man is never disobedient, for he is governed by God and by God alone. He always acts in accordance with the will of God, and is always doing what his  fellow man wants, for there is only one will, God's will, the will of good, and man is governed by that will, always doing and saying the right thing at the right time.

Man·s (here state the organ such as ankle, elbow, etc.) is never dis- located, man's-- is spiritual and perfect, ministering to man and benefiting man, for man's - - is  (here state the spiritual reality of the part dislocated) always in place, always perfect, working in perfect harmony with all the ideas of God. No organ is ever displaced, for every organ is an idea in divine Mind, and is held in place in divine Mind. Man is consciousness, and every idea connected with that consciousness is in its right place. There are no material laws of cause and effect, the only cause is God. Every single idea is controlled by God, and by God alone. Nothing can ever get out of place, for God controls all; every idea remains eternally in place for ever, fulfilling its purpose. God's will constitUtes the only law, and the will of God is the wiJI of Love, the law of complete harmony and perfection. (Add treatment against all symptoms, such as pain, swelling, etc.)

Divine metaphysics is now reduced to a system, to a form comprehensible by and adapted to the thought of the age in which we live. This system enables the learner  to demonstrate the divine Principle, upon which Jesus’ healing was based, and the sacred rules for its present application to the cure of disease. [SH 146:31-5]

There is no dizziness, for man is spiritual and perfect. There is no want of consciousness, for man is God's consciousness, ever conscious, ever active. Man's blood is the joy  that circulates right throughout consciousness with absolute conformity and ease. Man's head is the capacity to know God, working perfectly, working divinely. .Man never loses his sense of poise, he is poised in Mind, perfect.

There is no doubt, for man knows 'fruth, God is Truth, and man is the knowledge of God, the knowledge of Truth, and knows instantly everything that he needs. Everything  works perfectly and man knows that all works perfectly. (Also work against fear and ignorance). 

No drains can ever be out of order, because they are channels in consciousness through which God's ideas pass with absolute freedom and absolute ease. There is no stoppage, Love  is the power that causes the ideas to circulate and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God; there is no stagnation, God's ideas pass with absolute freedom and are always in the right place, ministering to man and benefiting man; there is no leakage, for the channels are channels in consciousness reflecting substance, full and complete; God's ideas can only pass in the right way and at the right time; God's ideas can never harm man by being in the wrong place, they are always in the right place, ministering to man, for all God's ideas are governed by God, the Principle of good.

When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was  a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science.

As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done.

The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth.
- G. B. P., Henry, S. D.

THE TRUE PHYSICIAN FOUND 

15	    It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the
  	particulars of my healing through Christian Science. 
   	While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On-
18	tario, about three years ago, my attention was called
  	to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was
  	doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years,
21	but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my
  	recollection. 
  	    Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered
24	with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often
  	being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. 
  	I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for
27	four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every
  	known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only
  	gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci-
30	ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that
 1	grand book I was completely healed of all my physical
  	ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi-
 3	cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and
  	the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading
  	of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used
 6	to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an
  	occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I
  	feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly
 9	being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain,
  	and in many instances I find that my refusal helps
  	others. 
12	    While I fully appreciate the release from my physical
  	troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with
  	the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 
15	I had not been inside a church for more than ten years,
  	to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian
  	Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed
18	so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very
  	start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch
  	of the way has been through study and practical demon-
21	stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they
  	will try. 
  	    Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of
24	ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science
  	and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours
  	by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy-
27	self." — B. H. N., New York, N. Y. 

GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING 

  	    About four years ago, after I had tried different ways
30	and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a  faith-
 1	ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris-
  	tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in-
 3	vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would
  	be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if
  	it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but
 6	that I would find out and be convinced. 
  	    After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health,
  	a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared,
 9	and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. 
  	I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often
  	determined to use my will power and never smoke again,
12	but had always failed. This desire as well as the de-
  	sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here,
  	that I received all these benefits before I had gained much
15	understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner,
  	who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. 
  	I did not then know how the chain had been removed,
18	but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading
  	of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more,
  	and to know what this power was that had freed me
21	in a few days of that which I had been trying for years
  	to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to
  	me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught
24	and preached to free humanity almost two thousand
  	years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply
  	it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought
27	that if I continued in my study I would have to retire
  	from business. 
  	    This did not happen, however, for I gradually found
30	that the little understanding of this wonderful teach-
  	ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in
  	my business. I became more friendly, more honest,
 1	more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better
  	judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right
 3	time. As a natural result my business improved. Be-
  	fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business
  	had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived
 6	me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the
  	study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable
  	treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health,
 9	and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and
  	confidence in God and that insight into character which
  	is necessary for the correct management of any business.
12	 — W. H. H., Bloomfield, Neb. 

I first heard of Christian Science four years ago. At that time drinking and smoking were my comforters. I had no other companionship. I had lived almost constantly from childhood  in an evil atmosphere. Though I was far from being satisfied with my condition, I failed to see how to better it until I read Science and Health. I used occasionally to listen to a sermon, but sermons did not give me any more comfort than I derived from my pipe, hence I concluded that church-going could not satisfy me and I preferred drinking and smoking. When I began to read Science and Health, I saw it offered something substantial. After a few months' study all desire for drinking and smoking disappeared. I did not give them up; I made no sacrifices, I simply found something better. I might mention that I had smoked ever since I can remember. I used to smoke years before I left school, and, like most Englishmen, loved my pipe, and would almost prefer to miss a meal rather than to go without my smoke. I used to think it gave me comfort.

During my four years' study of Christian Science I have not spent a cent for doctors or medicine, neither have I lost a day from my work on account of sickness, which compares wonderfully with the previous four years. I take a great interest and pleasure in reading the Bible and studying the lessons in the Quarterly. The Bible used to be a most mysterious book to me, but Science and Health makes it a most precious book, making its meaning clearer, plainer, and simpler.

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to the friend who invited me to attend the service held in the Auditorium years ago. I also wish to acknowledge the benefit I have had from the Journal and the Sentinel. They have helped me wonderfully. If the value of Science and Health and these publications were measured as business men value things, by the results or benefits they bring, they certainly would be priceless to me. It would be impossible to measure their value, as I have got something from Science and Health that all the money in the world could not buy.

There is no dropsy, for man is spiritual and perfect; there is no poison in the system, all is putity; there are no swollen limbs, man's limbs are his God-given  powers, spiritual and perfect. There is no matter to block the veins, arteries and lymphatics, they are channels in conscious- ness, free and open, through which the joy passes with absolute ease. There are no impurities in the system, for all is spiritual, reflecting Spirit, the Principle of purity and holiness.

18	                                  MANY ILLS OVERCOME 

  	    I have received much help, spiritually and physically,
  	through Christian Science. I had what the doctors
21	diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con-
  	stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom
  	I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian
24	Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I
  	did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my
  	troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the
27	Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles
  	of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and
  	Health through. The thought came, What about the
30	old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the
 1	material remedies I had and threw them away. That
  	was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them
 3	since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit
  	of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read-
  	ing Science and Health. I have not words to express
 6	the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that
  	have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle,
  	Wash. 

24	                      DEAFNESS AND DROPSY HEALED 

  	     I had been deaf from childhood. I suffered intensely
  	after eating, and dropsy was another of my complaints. 
27	This, with consumption, caused one doctor to say, "It
  	puzzles me; I have never seen such a case before as
  	yours." 
30	    I met a friend who had been cured in Christian
 1	Science, and she said, "Try Christian Science." I got
  	a copy of Science and Health and in three weeks I
 3	was entirely cured. I felt uplifted. It seemed as if
  	God's arms were around and about me. I felt as if
  	heaven had come down to earth for me. After five
 6	years of suffering can any one wonder at my unspeak-
  	able gratitude? — A. B., Pittsburgh, Pa. 

God's ideas are nt>ver stagnant. they art> finished. perft>ct and complete. ministering to man and benefiting man. Growth is a characteristic of Mind, and God's idcas are always unfolding to  man; no material water is necessary, as God's ideas are governed by God, always ministering to and benefiting man. There is no material water, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, and all ideas are spiritual, acted upon by Life, Truth and Love, always full, complete and perfect, rejoicing man. 

It never happened, God, Love, rules and governs all. Man can never be submerged in water, for man is spiritual; there is no material water, all is Spirit and the  manifestation of Spirit. There is no matter to have power to hurt man, for man is a spiritual being in a spiritual world, governed by God. Man cannot possibly inhale water into his lungs, for man's lungs are the knowledge of God as Life, the spiritual, perfect, divine power of receiving God's ideas, which are received and radiated forth again to the glory of God, and the joy of infinite beings. Nothing can kill man, all is Life eternal. "For in him we Ijlle, and mOlle, and have 0(11" being" (Acts I7 : 28). (Work against death and for life). 

Man never thinks his work is drudgery, all work is God's work, glorious work, man loves and rejoices in his work. God's ideas continually unfold to man, giving him joy  and happiness, he instantly fe-presents these ideas to his fellow man, giving him joy and happiness and receives perfect ideas in exchange. Every idea of God that comes to man reflects infinite joy and gives him infinite joy and happiness, "In thy pretenteilfulne.uofjoy" (Ps. 16: ll). Man is not a material being, subject to belief in material laws, for man is spiritual, untrammelled and free with the freedom of Spirit. Man, being God's consciousness by means of which God works, does glorious work, always benefiting his fellow man, grouping together God's ideas in perfect combinations, passing them on, and receiving instantly ideas in exchange, which give him joy and happiness. Man's work is to glorify God and enjoy Him for ever. (Then work for joy). 

In working against drugs and drunkenness I have always been in the habit of realising that man cannot wish for such a beastly, filthy thing as drugs (or drink, as  the case may be). The reason for this is that it is the way in which I worked for the first case of habitual drunkenness I ever had. Mental work is the result of experimental tuition and therefore ( have always kept this method of working as I have always found it effective. For the first 18 years I had only one case of drunkenness where the person was not instantaneously and permanently healed and then I had to give him two more treatments. One does not therefore like changing one's method of working. At the same time, to me, intellectually, it does not seem to be right. It is making too much of the drugs and drunkenness and the method which I set out hereunder is, I think, more scientific:- Man cannot possibly be a slave to any material thing such as drugs; thc!re are no material drugs, all God's ideas are spiritual, ministering to and benefiting man; man is divine and perfect, governed by God alone. 
Man has no desires, he has instantly everything he needs. A constant succession of perfect ideas unfolds to man, God's pure, perfect, divine and holy ideas, giving man joy and happiness. (Work also against poison and against matter). 

See DRUNKENNESS

Man cannot possibly wish for any material thing such as drink, he has everything he needs; he has no desires, only God's ideas can come to him, pure, perfect, holy  ideas. Man is not in bondage to any physical desire, man is spiritual and divine. Man cannot be in bondage to any habit, for man is free as Spirit is free; man can only do what is right, for all his desires are the activity of God's will, the only will there is, the will of absolute good. There are no false appetites, for all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. Man is not material, man is spiritual, wholly spiritual, belonging wholly to God. There is no craving, man's desires arc instantly fulfilled, he has instantly everything he needs, the only thing he needs is God's ideas which are always unfolding; all is holy satisfaction and peace. Man's food and drink are God's perfect ideas which continually unfold to man, giving him absolute peace and contentment. Desire and fulfilment are one, and man is abundantly satisfied with the fulness of Life; he is governed by the law of Spirit, which gives all purity and holiness. There is no power in matter to satisfy man, for man is spiritual; there is no matter, all is Spirit and the mani- festation of Spirit. There is no lack of control, man is controllt:d and governed by God, and by God alone. Man is spiritual and divine, and seeks and finds his inspiration in God. There is no aggressive mental suggestion, because the only thoughts are God's thoughts, pure, perfect and holy, satisfying man continually and giving peace and perfect bliss. There is no temptation to drink, the only idca~ that come ttl man arc God's ideas which give him jr)Y and haprine~s. P('lIC(, lind harmony.

There are no material glands, man's glands are spiritual, channels in consciousness through which God's ideas pass with absolute and unfailing regularity and case. The action of these glands can  never b~ impeded, as Love is the power that causes the ideas to circulate: and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God.

Man is never dull, he reflects Mind, and is ever active and ever energetic. He is always passing on God's ideas to his fellow man and receiving ideas in exchange,  giving him joy and happiness.

Man loves his work, and rejoices in his work, grouping together God's idt:as into perfect combinations, for man is God's consciousness, ever active and ever t:nergetic, "beillg Ihe bright- lIess f?f his glor:.v, and Ihe express image of his person" (Heb.

HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my  room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,
  	Chicago, Ill. 

9	                     VALVULAR HEART DISEASE HEALED 

  	     Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to
  	God and the dear Leader at the same time. After a
12	patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to
  	procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time
  	I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second-
15	hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed
  	to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told
  	me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and
18	McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in
  	some way connected with the work. I sent there for
  	information regarding a book called Health and Science,
21	and the return mail brought me the book, Science and
  	Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver-
  	ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani-
24	ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia,
  	and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life,
  	finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies,
27	and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have
  	been held in such bondage and have been liberated by
  	the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal
30	of that wonderful book. 
 1	    Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found
  	the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only
 3	of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I
  	should be led to some person who would heal me; but
  	old things had passed away, and all things had become
 6	new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien-
  	tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science,
  	and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science
 9	literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely
  	certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was
  	also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once
12	demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms
  	of error. — E. J. W., North Yakima, Wash. 

DYSPEPSIA QUICKLY HEALED 

  	    It has occurred to me that I have had ample time to
30	meditate on the many blessings which I have received
 1	through  Christian Science, as it is now more than six
  	years since I was entirely healed of dyspepsia as well as
 3	constipation in its worst form by the reading of Science
  	and Health. So aggravated were the conditions that for
  	three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold
 6	water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my
  	only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water
  	injections, for a period of more than three years. 
 9	    I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might
  	say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading
  	Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not
12	think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when
  	I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and
  	drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect
15	from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop
  	of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam-
  	ily of five. 
18	    I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our
  	home by having our youngest child relieved of the most
  	excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood,
21	immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi-
  	tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be
  	thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy,
24	whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this
  	precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M. C.
  	McK., Denver, Col. 

TRUTH MAKES FREE 

15	    As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy,
  	and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what
  	I  thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half
18	years ago, however, having exhausted all material means
  	at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym-
  	nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless
21	state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I
  	had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over
  	thirty years, and in the last five were added several others,
24	including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of
  	sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained
  	health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under-
27	standing of Christian Science, the result of about six
  	weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me
  	through the careful and prayerful study of Christian
30	Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science
 1	and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth
  	shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years
 3	of health and harmony have been spent in striving to
  	"hold fast that which is good." 
  	    While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati-
 6	tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond
  	expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal-
  	ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay
 9	upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un-
  	bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it
  	seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the
12	price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every
  	thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the
  	proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation
15	and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are
  	demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day,
  	and forever." — C. N. C., Memphis, Tenn. 

21	                               A VOICE FROM ENGLAND 

  	    For a number of years I was a weary woman, not ill
  	enough in health to be called an invalid, but suffering
24	more than could be told with fatigue and weakness. 
  	Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed,
  	although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys-
27	pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things,
  	including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and
  	with different changes for rest, I never regained health,
30	and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear
  	my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while
 1	lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre-
  	quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever
 3	ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I
  	rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I
  	was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti-
 6	nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal-
  	ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words,
  	"Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be-
 9	lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and
  	before a week had passed I realized that if God was my
  	all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few
12	days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. 
  	I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have
  	eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws
15	was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father
  	did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful
  	experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 
18	    For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True
  	indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." 
  	This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not
21	once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I
  	had a headache, although I am doing more work than
  	ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways.
24	 — A. L., Chelmsford, England.

24 	                       HEALED AFTER MUCH SUFFERING 

   	    A testimony given in the Journal led me to investi-
  	gate Christian Science, and I hope in return to be the
27	means of leading some one else to see the beauty of this
  	saving truth, and to learn to know God aright and
  	man's relationship to Him. I know from experience
 1	that it is prejudice and misapprehension of what Christian
  	Science is, that keeps many from enjoying the blessings
 3	it bestows. 
  	    I had been taking patent medicines for several years,
  	and had been to one of the best sanitariums in this country,
 6	but was not healed, although I received some benefit, for
  	which I shall always feel grateful, for I know the physi-
  	cians did all they could for me. I sometimes thought
 9	I had exhausted all remedies, but did not give up, for
  	I felt there must be something to heal me if I could
  	find it. 
12	    When in this state of mind Christian Science came to
  	my notice, and after reading several Journals, I pur-
  	chased a copy of Science and Health. I read for several
15	days at odd times. I commenced to improve, and in
  	about a week I was healed of most of my ills, among
  	which were dyspepsia and nervous debility. 
18	    Although I had heard about Christian Science before,
  	I had never heard that the reading of the Christian
  	Science textbook had ever effected the healing of anybody. 
21	I commenced reading to find out what Christian Science
  	was, but was surprised to find myself improving, and was
  	soon assured that it was the theology of Science and
24	Health that healed me, just as it was the theology of
  	Jesus that healed the sick. 
  	    It has also proved to me that there can be no
27	Christian Science Church that does not heal the sick
  	and sinful, for healing follows as the natural result of the
  	teaching of Christian Science. The Bible has become
30	a new revelation to me, and I can read it much more
  	understandingly by the light received through the reading
  	of Science and Health. — A. F. M., Fairmont, Minn.

24	                      DEAFNESS AND DROPSY HEALED 

  	     I had been deaf from childhood. I suffered intensely
  	after eating, and dropsy was another of my complaints. 
27	This, with consumption, caused one doctor to say, "It
  	puzzles me; I have never seen such a case before as
  	yours." 
30	    I met a friend who had been cured in Christian
 1	Science, and she said, "Try Christian Science." I got
  	a copy of Science and Health and in three weeks I
 3	was entirely cured. I felt uplifted. It seemed as if
  	God's arms were around and about me. I felt as if
  	heaven had come down to earth for me. After five
 6	years of suffering can any one wonder at my unspeak-
  	able gratitude? — A. B., Pittsburgh, Pa. 

AN EVER-PRESENT HELP FOUND 

24	    On the 23rd of March, 1900, I received from one of my
  	daughters a copy of Science and Health on my  seventy-first
  	birthday. Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers
27	and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci-
  	ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco
  	newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the
30	Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 
 1	    In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of
  	thought that was not readily understood at the first read-
 3	ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal
  	of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu-
  	ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation
 6	in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One
  	afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks
  	of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim-
 9	ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. 
  	I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive
  	it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the
12	back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force,
  	into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about
  	twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the
15	snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand
  	there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and
  	another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 
18	"Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery
  	for you," and without further ceremony, I began to
  	treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the
21	result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and
  	so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I
  	paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my
24	work, and then went to supper. When I washed my
  	face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block
  	of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to
27	bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain
  	on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand
  	there was another big lump on the right side, but I
30	treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an
  	hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw
  	was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on
 1	the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since
  	disappeared. 
 3	    In summing up the benefits I have received from
  	the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to
  	a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862),
 6	when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near
  	making an end of my material existence. My hearing,
  	also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon
 9	firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where
  	I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now
  	eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind
12	is giving me a rest which I never experienced before
  	during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for
  	the divine presence that was always near, though I did
15	not know it. — L. B., Baldy, N. M.

  	     It is only two years since I came from darkness into
  	the light of Christian Science, and to me the spiritual
15	uplifting has been wonderful, to say nothing of the
  	physical healing. Words cannot express my gratitude
  	for benefits I have received in that time. For five
18	years I suffered with that dreaded disease, eczema, all
  	over my body. Five doctors said there was no help
  	for me. The suffering seemed as terrible as the hell
21	fire that I had been taught to believe in. When Christian
  	Science came to me two years ago through a dear friend,
  	she gave me a copy of Science and Health and asked
24	me to read it. I told her that I would, for I was like a
  	drowning man grasping at a straw. I had been a Bible
  	student for twenty-eight years, but when I commenced
27	reading Science and Health with the Bible I was healed
  	in less than a week. I never had a treatment. A case
  	of measles was also destroyed in twenty-four hours after
30	it appeared. — Mrs. M. B. G., Vermilion, Ohio. 

12/29/2022 -  Dissolve All Barriers That Try To Steal the Moments

If we replace a thought of limitation with one of true being, we realize that the only real time  is now and the only real place is here.


Life, from a human sense is limited. But as we step-by-step raise thought above the human, we open the door to letting the human touch the divine.


Mary Baker Eddy stated that the magnitude of the humanity of Jesus enabled his divinity.

There is no want of effort, for man is the activity of God, "'he power of God, and the wisdom of God" (I Cor. J : 24) and loves to  do everything that he docs. His work is the receiving and passing on of God's ideas and the grouping of them together into perfect combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness. He rejoices in this work, for it is the work of God, of absolute good.

BORN AGAIN 

  	    It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still,
21	small voice" of the Christ and received healing through
  	Christian Science;  and the blessings have been so
  	many since, that it would take too much space to
24	name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual
  	atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an
  	orthodox minister of the old school for forty years,
27	and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the
  	truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to
  	study into the meaning of life, and came to the con-
30	clusion before I was twenty that though God probably
 1	existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to
  	connect Him with my present living. My highest
 3	creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right
  	and not for fear of being punished." Then began the
  	suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other
 6	in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no
  	rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no
  	turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by
 9	me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave
  	way, and with that went my last hope. But the last
  	hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at
12	hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my
  	piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by
  	reading it. 
15	    Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I
  	opened the "little book" and began to read. I had
  	read only a short time when such a wonderful trans-
18	formation took place! I was renewed; born again. 
  	Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up-
  	lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 
21	When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but
  	before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing
  	all my housework and doing it easily; and since that
24	glorious day I have been a well woman. My health
  	is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine
  	that others may be led to the truth. There have been
27	some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned
  	that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or
  	easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and
30	the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and
  	persistent. 
  	    For a long time I was always looking back to see if
 1	the error had gone, until one day when I realized
  	that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means
 3	I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to
  	work in earnest to find the true way. I opened
  	Science and Health and these words were before me,
 6	"If God were understood, instead of being merely be-
  	lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). 
  	I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 
 9	I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I
  	waited with longing intensity for some answer. How
  	long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won-
12	derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly
  	this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I
  	held my breath — deep into my hungering thought
15	sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self-
  	conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes
  	the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as
18	it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con-
  	vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others
  	who have had similar experiences will understand. 
21	    From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness
  	of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good.
  	 — C. B. G., Hudson, Mass. 

There are no mistakes, man reflects divine intelligence, wisdom and knowledge. Man is always doing the right thing at the right time. There is no mortal mind to make man  do what is wrong, for there is only one Mind, God ; man is directed by that one Mind, the Principle of wisdom and knowledge, intelligence itself. “Got/ has endowed man with inalienable rights'1 “Man is properly self-governed only when be is guided rightly and governed by his Maker, divine 'Truth and Love" (S. & H. p. to6).

There is no material man, man is divine, made in the image and like- ness of God, reflecting Mind, intel1ig~nce, wisdom and knowledge; all God's ideas are spiritual and perfect,  doing perfect work. No man can ever be in the wrong place, for man is always in the right place, ill Mind, in God, as man is Gud's consciousness, duing perfect work. When man works, God works, God works by means of man. There is no partisanship, there is only one Mind, une intelligence and one aim. 

No idea of God fails tu du its work properly, all God's ideas ure ministering to man and benefiting man; they arc governed by God, the Principle of all law  anu all order. God is the light of everything and man has full illumination, the illumination of perfect day. 

1	                    CURING BETTER THAN ENDURING 

  	     For eight years I was a great sufferer from weak
 3	lungs and after being treated by ten different physi-
  	cians, in the States of Illinois, Missouri, and Colo-
  	rado, I was told there was no hope of my recovery
 6	from what they pronounced tuberculosis, which was
  	hereditary, my father having been afflicted with it. I
  	was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 
 9	My general condition was aggravated by what the doc-
  	tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi-
  	cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured
12	my husband that I could never get more than tem-
  	porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain,
  	in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was
15	nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of
  	doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For
  	four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels,
18	and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow-
  	erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering,
  	that any action whatever could be brought about. 
21	    I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris-
  	tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one
  	night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week
24	testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much
  	impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once
  	to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it
27	might have something good for me. I bought the text-
  	book, Science and Health, and from the first I found
  	myself growing stronger and better, both physically and
30	mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en-
  	deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week
 1	I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for
  	years with them, and before three months had passed I
 3	was better than I had been any time in my life, for I
  	had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. 
  	Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and
 6	rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now
  	sound, my bowels normally active, my general health
  	excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue
 9	tasks that before would have prostrated me. The
  	study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. 
  	 — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. 

MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME 

  	    In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I
18	read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who
   	hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous
  	light." The periodicals so wisely established by our
21	Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises
  	of Truth. 
  	    From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into
24	the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and
  	living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the
  	light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt
27	and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of
  	good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science
  	textbook has done for me. 
30	    At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach-
 1	ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from
  	my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 
 3	For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist
  	for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come
  	as many more months before a cure could be effected. 
 6	At this time, Science and Health was brought to my
  	notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed
  	by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed
 9	that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of
  	blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant
  	manifestations. I did not go back to the physician
12	until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the
  	way, was more than five times the price of the Science
  	and Health I had purchased). From the time I read
15	the book I taught steadily without losing time from my
  	work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other
  	ways. 
18	    Through reading the textbook I learned that God has
  	given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is
  	the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu-
21	lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake
  	fatigue and discord. 
  	    Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and
24	to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be-
  	came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts
  	to put into practice what has been taught. — T. H. A.,
27	Madison, Wis.
