We
are told in Exodus that when the hosts of Israel were pressed in the rear by the armies of Pharaoh, while their further progress was barred by the Red Sea, the voice of God told Moses to "speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
The
devout student of Christian Science has discovered that existence is spiritual; that there is in reality but one existence and that existence is God and His idea.
When
one begins to realize that the word substance means infinitely more than has ever been defined in the lexicons of mortal mind, that its significance must be fathomed in order to find its full valuation, and that the comprehension of it brings continuous blessings; then the inquirer turns gladly to that inspired book that is given to the world, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, to study its deep import; for the illusive and perishable manifestation of what is supposed to be substance as seen by humanity to-day offers small satisfaction to those who seem to know mostly of its lack.
To
those desiring to progress in Christian Science it may be said that no more helpful course can be pursued than a faithful, systematic, and prayerful study of The Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lessons.
The Telegram reports a sermon, one of a series delivered in Superior by a speaker who discusses "Spiritual versus Mental Healing," in which some statements are made regarding Christian Science which indicate a great misapprehension of that very vital subject.
Our East Orange friend really makes only two points clear: First, that Christian Science differs from Methodism, and, second, that he has failed to understand what Christian Science teaches; but neither of these justifies his assault upon Christian Science and its honored Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy.
The

The

For several years previous to my coming into Christian Science I was a member of a denominational church and for several of the earlier years of this membership took an active part in the church work and was trusted with the responsibility of several of its important offices, being for two years superintendent of the Sunday school; but during all these years there had been appearing in my path disease and discords of various natures and it seemed at times that God was punishing me for trying to be good, for I really was trying to live up to all the light I had.
I had been studying the Bible more or less for many years and had attended churches of all denominations in an effort to find some one who could heal sin and disease as did Christ Jesus and his apostles, but their teaching and my little understanding of the Bible did not correspond.
It was through reading the testimonies in Science and Health that I received my first healing, and in turn I am glad to bear witness to the power of Spirit.
Christian Science is the greatest gift presented to mankind since Jesus dwelt on earth, preaching and practicing the healing gospel, which we are striving to live to-day.
