When
Moses delivered his divinely inspired law to the children of Israel, he exhorted them to lay up his words in their hearts, and to teach them diligently to their children.
The
divine wisdom of our Master's declaration, "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven," has been made clear to the writer many times by the children who are students of Christian Science.
In
Revelation we read of the tree of life, the leaves of which "were for the healing of the nations;" but until "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was given to the world, Bible readers, in general, were not able to glean from such Scriptural passages their depth of spiritual meaning; much less did they have the understanding to apply Bible truths to the healing of disease.
Lester B. McCoun, Committee on Publication for the State of Nebraska,
I have noted the remarks of a correspondent in a recent issue of your paper in which he undertakes to classify Christian Science, which he admits he does not understand, with various forms of mental suggestion and faith cure.
Joseph Axtell, Committee on Publication for Somerset County, England,
In a recent issue of your paper a correspondent mentions that no reference was made to the surgeons' work at the recent Christian Science lecture in Bath.
W. Stuart Booth, Committee on Publication for the State of Colorado,
As you request my opinion in connection with "America's Greatest Need," regarding the best way of reviving interest in church activity, I will briefly state the same.
When
Emerson in "Circles" declared, "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," he stated a fact which all Christian Scientists may well ponder; for true it is that no great cause has ever been won, or has ever greatly prospered, without enthusiasm among its leaders and supporters.
In order that The Mother Church may have the benefit of the resulting economy, receipts for per capita taxes and contributions will not be issued after June 1, 1922, unless requested by the sender.
I wish to express a loving gratitude for innumerable blessings and healings which have come to me during the past twelve years through the understanding which Christian Science has brought to me of the all-power and presence of God, good, and of the supremacy and ceaseless activity of God's spiritual, governing laws.
It is with profound gratitude and appreciation that I avail myself of the privilege of voicing my gratitude through the columns of the Christian Science publications, testifying to the healing power of Truth.
Articles from members of The Mother Church and good testimonies from those healed by Christian Science are always welcomed for consideration by the Editors.
