It is historical fact that Mary Baker Eddy was the Discoverer of Christian Science and also that she is accepted and known as the Founder of the Christian Science movement. Objections have been made to her use of these terms; it has been preached from the pulpit and heralded from the press that a person cannot be the discoverer and also the founder of the same thing.

FROM Scriptural records we learn that the voice of God was heard by holy men of old. Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and many others enjoyed this close communion with divine Love.

WHEN , through the study of Christian Science, one gains some recognition of Life as God, eternal, unchanging, infinite—and the consequent nothingness, unreality, and falsity of the changing concepts of so-called mortal mind,—a song of gratitude wells up in the heart. This unfolding knowledge of the allness of God, divine Mind, robs one of nothing real, but rather does it begin to show forth the beauty of infinite good.

LOYALTY in Christian Science is strict adherence and obedience to divine Principle, God. One's degree of loyalty, then, is measured by his conformity of thought and action to Principle.

" WE do not speak the same language," has become a current phrase in explanation of incompatibility. This "same language" does not refer to a common knowledge of English, French, German, Chinese, or Choctaw, but to the same point of view or basis of understanding.

WHEN the problem of lack or limitation keeps recurring in our experience, it must signify that in some way we have not grasped the spiritual facts which are needed to heal this discord. We may have thought of our problem in a merely perfunctory way, dismissing it with a vague general statement of the allness of God.

POPE wrote, "The proper study of mankind is man," but until the presentation of Christian Science by Mrs. Eddy the larger part of the world's study of mankind had not been man; it had been merely mankind.

THAT humanity is ever vainly seeking for satisfaction is apparent to the most casual observer. Temporary happiness is not sufficient, for to be satisfied necessitates a sense of completeness that leaves nothing further to be desired; and the failure to reach this goal is a constant source of disappointment.

IT is one of humanity's many paradoxes that while the quality of obedience is universally recognized as essential to moral, social, civil, political, and religious well-being, the practice of obedience is almost as commonly resisted, at one time or another, in some way or other, in individual experience. This is because the so-called human mind in its blind and perverse way desires the reward that flows from a spiritual quality, while it evades the application of that quality or attempts to make it operate in a way opposite to its real nature.

SPIRITUAL thoughts are the products of divine Mind. This one and only Mind is God, and the creations of Mind must have the qualities of their creator.
