Everything which the Master said and did indicates that he considered himself an example for his followers, and that he did not expect to save them by any merits of his own, except in so far as he was worthy to be an example.
One
of the purposes of the Wednesday evening meeting is to give those who do not understand Christian Science, opportunity to learn what it has done and is doing for mankind in the way of healing the sick and reforming the sinful.
Not
the least of the blessings vouchsafed the earnest student of Christian Science is a steadily increasing ability to think, together with a growing appreciation of what thought really is.
Be it fully understood that Christian Science heals purely and solely by denying physical causes and effects, and depending absolutely upon the power of the divine Mind to work the cure.
It is true that Christian Science teaches that the cause and foundation of all sickness is fear, ignorance, and sin; and because of this teaching, Christian Scientists have learned that suffering and sickness are neither God-ordained nor God-sent.
