THE
student of Christian Science finds, early in his study, that it becomes imperative for him constantly to replace his old, false concepts of all things with the right or spiritual idea.
Although
the book of the prophet Jonah in the Old Testament contains but four short chapters, these are nevertheless of vital importance to the student of Christian Science to-day, unfolding as they do the necessity for spontaneous obedience to divine Principle and pointing out the great lesson that the supposititious beliefs of evil cannot be attached to either persons, places, or things.
Students
of Christian Science, often in referring to the church with which they were identified before coming into Science, speak of their former church as being an orthodox church, thereby implying at least, if not admitting, that Christian Science is not orthodox.
At
first a faint perception of the Christ,A gleam that tells us, Doubt not, but hope on;Then step by step with firmer tread we gainThe light that shows us God,—the dark is gone!
THE
words of Christ Jesus to John the Baptist, "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness," have been used by many people as a reason why they may allow themselves to continue indefinitely in all sorts of materiality, whereas Christ Jesus himself was continually proving that man lives in Spirit, not in matter.
I have had so much help from reading testimonies, and have had so many blessings through the study of Christian Science that I also wish to tell of the power of the truth, when applied.
For years I have been greatly benefited by the testimonies in the Sentinel and still have withheld my own experience of the "firstfruits," which were wonderful to me.
