In
II Kings there is related the story of a widow who went to the prophet Elisha saying that her husband was dead, and that a creditor had come to take her two sons to be bondmen.
At
the beginning of that marvelous discourse called the Sermon on the Mount, as recorded by Matthew, are the pure declarations of the blessings which follow certain specified conditions of right thinking and living—the Beatitudes.
To
students of Christian Science there is comfort, encouragement, and instruction in the story of Peter's imprisonment and deliverance, as told in the twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.
W. Truman Green, Committee on Publication for the State of Florida,
There recently appeared in your paper a news item covering the laymen's assembly of the Methodist Church, South, Fayetteville, Arkansas, in which item a bishop was quoted as saying: "Those who practice healing by faith are in reality fractional atheists.
Christian Science was revealed to me at a time when I seemed to have reached an extremity; and I shall always be devoutly grateful for this experience, as it was the means of my reaching out for something other than operations, medicine, and material aids.
Early in 1901 I was suffering from consumption, dyspepsia, nervousness, malarial fever, and two internal troubles for which a surgeon advised an operation.
In the year 1912, while I was suffering from a nervous breakdown and did not know which way to turn for relief, the thought kept coming to me to go to the Christian Science church and perhaps I would hear some comforting remarks; and I am thankful to say I was not disappointed.
How
lovely is the soft gray dusk,When all the earth is still,When flowers are closed, and birds are hushed,And pearl-mist veils the hill!Then turns my heart to thoughts of peace,To God, who tenderlyEnfolds all nature in His arms,—Our loving Father He.
