Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

"THE LANGUAGE OF SPIRIT"

Mary Baker Eddy not only discovered the divine Science of the Bible and revived the practice of Christian healing, but was also able to impart her teachings, both orally and in writing, in such a way that they can be understood and demonstrated. Christ Jesus, in naming the signs that should follow "them that believe," or truly understand his teachings, included the ability to "speak with new tongues," as well as the power to heal the sick and cast out evil ( Mark 16:17, 18 ).

HOW GOD FEEDS US

God does feed us. He feeds us in the only way infinite Love could—abundantly and to our joyous, complete satisfaction.

"THE SEED GROWING SECRETLY"

Not long ago a survey was made of the mottoes or slogans that have been used for many years by a cross section of daily newspapers in the United States and Canada. It discussed some of the best known of these mottoes and commented on their purposes and origins.

THERE IS REMEMBRANCE

The Psalmist wrote ( Ps. 107:20 ), "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

THE CODE OF ETHICS IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Every profession of standing, in order to fulfill its purpose satisfactorily, requires a code of ethics. Architecture, accounting, medicine, engineering, law, as well as other serviceable vocations, maintain their standards through recognized rules of right conduct promulgated by their members.

HOME POSSESSION

THE possession of a home, rightly understood, is inherent in real consciousness, as is seen when man is conceived as reflecting the allness of Mind. However, mortal mind, with its claims of world upheavals, restless personalities, and laborious processes, argues against such direct realization of good.

SPIRITUAL EDUCATION

THE ultimate purpose of spiritual education is to lift mankind progressively out of the deceptive dream of materiality and sin into the joy-inspiring, spiritual sense of immortal being. To some, immortality may appear to be of such a hazy, indeterminate nature as to preclude its acceptance in thought as a present possibility.

THE COMPASS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

EVERY navigator of the high seas uses a compass. Without a compass he could have no certainty of following his course or of reaching his port.

LIKE PRODUCES LIKE

IT is a well-known axiom that like produces like. It is not so generally perceived that only like knows like.

LOVE IS POWER

THE reassuring message of Christian Science comes to a materialistic world that is power conscious, that has suffered from power politics, that has witnessed the destructive power of mechanical engines of war, and that lives in fear of the unleashing of a power hitherto unknown. Mary Baker Eddy, after years of consecrated study and prayer, received the revelation that God, Love, is the only power; that God, Spirit, is All; that matter is nothing; that so potent is divine Love that it can annul all material so-called power, even if it is manifested as the power of the totalitarian dictator, the engine of war, or the fury of the atomic bomb.
