'This age is reaching out ...'

From the July 2003 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"It'll be right along," I said to a woman waiting with me for an elevator. She replied, "Oh, I don't mind waiting. I used to be impatient. But now I thank the Lord for each moment to pray."

"Do you pray for your health?" I asked. She glanced away, paused, and said, "Well, yes." She didn't sound confident in those prayers, though, and appeared to be reaching out for a better way. And to me, she illustrated what Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of this magazine, once noted: "This age is reaching out towards the perfect Principle of things ..." Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 232.

There's plenty of data on the subject of spiritual healing.
