The
supplication in the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," is given clearer and deeper meaning in its spiritual interpretation by Mary Baker Eddy in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures".
How
grateful many a one has felt upon awakening from some unhappy or terrifying night dream to realize that it was only a dream, that no such illusive events actually happened, that he was still free and protected from whatever dangers the dream had threatened! The dream experience soon vanished from thought as he went about his daily duties, and he felt no hurt from the experience.
Profound
and significant are the words on page 487 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
Meinrad Schnewlin, Committee on Publication for German-speaking Switzerland,
In a recent issue Christian Science was mentioned, and the statement was made that according to Christian Science teaching, sickness was "an imagination devoid of all reality.
Throughout
her writings Mary Baker Eddy directs readers to the oneness and perfection of God and man, for she well knew that it is through understanding God that one can discern and demonstrate his God-given individuality.

Christian Science has brought so many blessings into my experience that I should like to express in some measure my gratitude to God for these blessings.
In meekness and sincerity I wish to acknowledge to the world my gratitude for the unspeakable gift of Love; to Christ Jesus, who revealed the glorious truth of man sanctified and God glorified; to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who through her purity and unselfed love has removed the mist which for hundreds of years has blinded the eyes of countless thousands to the light of Love, which, she teaches us, "inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way".
My sincere gratitude for healings which I have experienced, and which I have seen others experience, through the perusal of the Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Monitor, causes me to write this testimony.
Give
me, dear Lord, a heart so triedBy flames of purifying fire,That sin and self may be consumed,And in their stead a pure desireTo learn to love Thy chastening rodThat brings me ever nearer Thee;To grow more Christlike day by day,Thy tender love and goodness see.
