In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

The Time Is Come

Two statements of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, on the opening page of the Preface to "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," are: "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings," and, "The time for thinkers has come.

"Every valley shall be exalted"

In the book of Isaiah it is written, "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

"Come forth"

The command, "Come forth," is as imperative to-day as when given by Jesus, the master Metaphysician, to Lazarus; for is not the so-called Christian world of to-day mentally bound by the graveclothes of materiality—the belief of life, substance, and intelligence apart from God, and in matter—as surely as was Lazarus physically bound by the graveclothes of his day?

"The root of all evil"

Most students of what is termed human nature soon arrive at the conclusion of Paul, who states, in I Timothy, that "the love of money is the root of all evil.

Overcoming Error

The beginner in the study of Christian Science, who is desirous of helping himself rather than depending wholly on the ministrations of a practitioner, will be found to devote himself earnestly to the textbook for relief when confronted by any physical problem.

It seems that history still repeats itself, and that intolerance still holds human thought and causes it harshly to condemn anything that seems to differ from preconceived ideas, and see in it only that which is evil, regardless of evidence and positive proof to the contrary.
The Reverend Canon Field did right in going to the Christian Science textbook for his information.
In a recent issue there appeared a report of a sermon delivered by a Roman Catholic priest on the subject of "Christian Science and Christian Sense," wherein he discusses the "nothingness of matter," and claims to speak with knowledge as to what Christian Science teaches on this subject.
