Inasmuch as numerous inquiries have been received by Mrs. Eddy's publisher asking the meaning of two paragraphs as they appeared in recent editions of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." she has restated the latter part of these paragraphs so that they will read in future editions of our text-book as follows:—
On page 127, last part of first paragraph:—
"What God cannot do man need not attempt. If God heals not the sick, they are not healed. In any case feebler attempts would be hopeless. for no lesser power equals the infinite, All-power; but God can and does heal the sick."
And on page 458, last half of first paragraph:—
"Some individuals assimilate Truth more rapidly than others; but any student who adheres to the divine rules of Christian Science and practises them, can demonstrate Christian Science, cast out error, heal the sick, and add continually to his store of spiritual understanding, potency, enlightenment, and success."
By comparing the above with what is in earlier editions of our text-book, it will readily be seen that the author has retained the original ideas, and only clothed them in new dress, which, by some readers, may be more easily understood.
Applications for membership with the Mother Church The First Church of Christ, Scientist, to be presented at the next regular meeting of the First Members must be in the hands of the clerk on or before the twentieth day of May, 1901.
