In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

From our Exchanges

Every important doctrine ever held in any age or nation, and every form of worship, of sacrifice, or religious observance of any kind, has come in the demand to answer some question asked by the mind of man, or to supply the demand of some human longing and desire.
Perhaps the strongest proof we can offer that Christian Science healing is not produced by the power of one human mind over another is the fact that thousands have been healed of sickness and sin simply by reading the Christian Science text-book.
Christian Science is not "practised in defiance of the laws of nature," as this reverend critic asserts, but logically sustains the laws of nature in the understanding of the fact that laws of nature, so-called, cannot properly be disassociated from the laws of God.
To dispute Christian Science because it pleads the unreality of evil is in effect to question the reality of good Our Saviour did not teach evil to be eternal, He predicted the final destruction of all evil; and the fact that it will eventually be relegated to the realms of the unknown, shows it to lack the inherent stability of good which proves good to be imperishable and eternal.

Peace

Perhaps no one word is more expressive of that for which the whole world is seeking, consciously or unconsciously, than is the one little word peace, which is just the opposite of all the strife, turmoil, and discord of material sense, the opposite of discontent and dissatisfaction, of disease and fear, of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Freely Give
