Mary Baker Eddy's words on: Man and Woman

From the March 2004 issue of The Christian Science Journal


. . . The masculine element must not murmur if at some period in human history the verdict should take a turn in behalf of woman, and say, — Her time has come, and the reflection of God's feminine nature is permitted consideration, has come to the front, and will be heard and understood. Then the mandate human, will appeal to man by works more than by words, and these shall declare whether Love is usurpation, or God's law, and whether the feminine element is less beneficial to mankind than the masculine.

At such a juncture I would not dislike to be referee; — I would declare that one was not less, nor more, important in God's sight than the other, and that in the divine order they both originated in One ....

... let us return to God, to the divine Principle of the universe including the genus man: — we shall find therein no occasion for departure, no occasion for strife, no suggestion of preeminence, or disseverance of the masculine and feminine elements of God's creating — no question of who shall be the greatest. Then the kingdom of heaven will be here and everywhere, and the one Father-Mother God and His children will be understood from everlasting to everlasting.
