It
is doubtful whether any one outside the ranks of the Christian Science movement has any proper conception of what he is doing when he makes use of what is known as will power.
When
studying the Old Testament we note God's protecting care for each and all of the prophets, as their realization was on the side of infinite God, showing that the power of Principle predominated then as now, that sin and disease were healed as the prophets understood that man's life was not in or of material outlining, and did not look upon man as a miserable sinner but as the invisible spiritual idea.
Christian Science
is continually revealing to man the truth of the Bible, which always seemed so obscure and which teemed with mystery beyond our solution until we found that "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy is truly what she proclaimed it to be—a "key" to the Scriptures.
If
we carefully examine the reason for the world unrest of to-day, especially the manifestation of labor strikes, we must unmistakably trace it all to one source, lack or the fear of lack, and all because of the belief that money is substance,—whereas the only possible lack there is, or can be, is lack of the understanding of God.
Make
straight His road so interlaced,So covered o'er with self;Let me but see amid the gloomThe vision of Thyself,So lowly sweetThat, in the seeing, I may graspSomething of love to help me passUndaunted on my way.
After
one has begun the study of Christian Science, one often finds, scattered here and there in the profusion of modern literature, sentences and phrases which seem to be in accord with the Principle of divine metaphysics.
Doth
thy way seem lonely, tired heart,Thy way seem far from other men apart,No friendly far out-reaching hand,No one near to understandThy hopes, the good that thou wouldst know?
For one made happy in every way through Christian Science, it is hard to pick out one thing that stands above another in the treasure house of blessings, so first I will express my gratitude for the completeness of the healing.
When I first looked into Christian Science I had no thought of physical healing but simply read Science and Health because a relative gave it to me to read.
As I have received so much peace and comfort from the Sentinel, I would like to use that channel for good in which to express my gratitude for Christian Science, hoping it may help some one struggling in the dark.
I once heard a gentleman who had just come from a Wednesday evening testimony meeting remark that the Christian Science people had some sort of a charm.
