"Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
It
is cause for unceasing gratitude that Mary Baker Eddy, our beloved Leader, through her untiring service gave to sick and sin-tired humanity the Science of Christianity, whereby they could experience the blessings of right thinking.
"God
requires wisdom, economy, and brotherly love to characterize all the proceedings of the members of The Mother Church," writes Mary Baker Eddy in Article XXIV, Section 5, of the Church Manual.
For
many months during the so-called business depression a student of Christian Science had, through holding to the truth as she best understood it, enjoyed considerable success in her business.
A small
boy who was spending the summer with his parents at the seashore was told one morning that he might play on the lawn in front of the house, but he must not go to the shore.
Away
from home, without his parents to guide his actions or to help settle his problems, new situations coming up that must be met each day—under such circumstances the young college student finds himself needing an infallible help that can be consulted for advice.
"Like
to the mountains are my high desires,"I lift mine eyes unto the hills and pray,And strength baptizes me and hope inspires;God owns both heaven and earth, I cannot stray.
Ralph W. Still, Committee on Publication for the State of Texas,
As recent issues of your paper have carried reports of evangelistic services in which Christian Science was criticized and Mary Baker Eddy, its Discoverer and Founder, was mentioned, will you kindly allow space for brief comment?
How often does the cry go up to God from humanity for His love, His support, His guidance! But how often it is made as if He were afar off, so far off, indeed, that He may not hear the cry at all, even the cry of agony! There is surely something wrong with the concept of God which regards Him as apart from His creation, probably far apart from it.
Christian Science was first introduced to my family many years ago while we were resident at Otacamund, on the Nilgiri Hills, South India, when two ladies who were Christian Scientists took a kindly interest in my mother, to whom they sent their periodicals for some time.
When I became interested in Christian Science, I was struggling with a business problem, which, it seemed to me at the time, could not possibly come out right.
Many blessings have come to me through the study of Christian Science, and one for which I have felt increasing gratitude is that of the sustaining and healing power of Christian Science at the time my mother passed on.
I have been reading and enjoying the testimonies in The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel for many years, so I think it is time for me to send in my testimony, for I feel sure that if Christian Science could heal me it can heal others.
