A Statement
that has been made over and over again by my teacher in Christian Science, and which gives much food for thought and expansion, is this: "We are God's mouthpieces.
In January, 1897, we turned from old surroundings where we were in bondage to mortal mind laws, bodily infirmities, and spiritual unrest, from which conditions we had failed to find relief in the promises of mental philosophy, materia medica, and orthodoxy.
