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

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF WAR

The words of the prophet Isaiah come ringing down the centuries like the chime of a vesper bell after a storm: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

"SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE"

Concerning the healing and redemptive nature of Christ's Christianity, Mary Baker Eddy, on page 233 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has written these words: "Already the shadow of His right hand rests upon the hour. " With prophetic vision she has pointed to the signs or evidences of the coming of the Christ, Truth, that is to destroy sin, sickness, and death, and she has stated plainly how we may discern this coming.

"FROM ZONE TO ZONE"

Webster defines an "office" as, "The place where a particular kind of business or service for others is transacted. " To the practitioner of Christian Science this definition is fraught with meaning.

"LET LOVE MOVE YOU OUT"

A Student of Christian Science once appeared to be in a very inharmonious environment. It seemed impossible for her to remain in what was so obviously a wrong place, and she decided to go to another city.

"AN HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS"

The student of Christian Science  learns that dominion over the human sense of body, as progressively evidenced by Christ Jesus in his glorious career, culminating in the ascension, is not miraculous, nor is it confined to our great Master's experience alone, but it is the inalienable right of all men. This God-given dominion becomes the natural experience of each one in proportion to his understanding of what man divinely and scientifically is.

THE STANDARD OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

A Standard is an accepted or established model or rule. The eternal standard of Christian Science is perfection; unchanging Spirit and unchanging spiritual creation.

SPIRITUAL HERITAGE VERSUS HEREDITY

As affording a solution to the problem of heredity, the Psalmist's words may well be considered: "The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance .

"I WILL ARISE"

God's purpose for man is established now and throughout eternity. That purpose, complete in every detail and ever unfolding, must therefore include the right idea of activity, service, supply—everything which makes for the happiness and welfare of man.
