AT the National Christian Science Association which met in 1890, a letter from Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy the author of Science and Health was read, containing the following advice:—
"Each one return to his place of labor, to work out individually and alone, for himself and others, the sublime ends of human life." Having discovered to my own satisfaction the key to the solution of this problem I would like to offer it as a help to others. I found it in the Lord's Prayer,— that Prayer which Science and Health says covers all human needs. "Love is reflected in love." O blessed words! Love is not reflected in malice, envy, jealousy, hatred, selfishness, illwill, revenge, impatience, anger, unbelief, doubt, fear, anxiety, worry, conceit, deceit, dishonesty, etc.
Knowing this, can we afford for even one moment, to give any one of those qualities of mortal mind a place in our consciousness? For that moment we are cut off from reflecting that Love which casts out fear. This key will enable us to solve the problem of loving our neighbor as ourselves, for we will have no time to burden him with a wrong thought, or "bear false witness against him." This lived, will also bring us face to face with the problem on page 162—6 to 19 Science and Health, and in solving it we prove that "One with God is a majority." Only by so doing can we know how sweet it is to be "alone with God." "The secret of the Lord is with the righteous." "Our God is a consuming fire," that fire (Love) which consumes all error.
