PRAYER

From the August 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The "prayer of the righteous" that "heals the sick," is after the manner that our Master taught, when he bade his students enter into the spirit of prayer, the door of personal sense closed, lips mute, and man in audience with his Maker, where Spirit instead of matter, and Soul instead of sense, are found the divine Principle that destroys sickness, sin, and death.

Science and Health.


O Golden Age, whose light is of the dawn,
And not of sunset, forward, not behind,
Flood the new heavens and earth, and with thee
bring
All the old virtues.


A man who emigrates from the low country of selfishness, where are perpetual chills and fevers, to the high lands of benevolence, goes from sickness and barrenness to the realm of health, and plenty, and joy, where his hand can almost pluck the fruits from the tree of life itself.


To argue for the so-called laws of matter, nature, and health, is like arguing for the sentence of imprisonment. Until we break the bonds of limits, we will never know life and its unfathomable sea of possibilities.
