In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

A Most Interesting Report

During the year ending November 30, 1902, the Central Christian Science Reading Room Association of Chicago sold as follows:—

A Little Understanding

Do we realize what we are saying when we acknowledge that we have only a little understanding?
Oh! Divine Intelligent Love, we worship Thee, we praise Thee; Thou the Beauty of all that is beautiful; the purity of all that is pure; the one altogether lovely.
The progress of the church lies in its manifestation of the presence of God and the fidelity of its members in the acknowledgment of God in what he has done and is doing for us all.
The thought came to me to-day, why is it that sometimes our own problems are delayed?

A Helpful Explanation

I was much impressed and helped by the following lines which appeared recently in the columns of the Journal.

Self-Reliance

When are we, as students of Christian Science, to be self-reliant, self-supporting, and when are we to lean only on God, the giver of every good and perfect gift?

Common Sense

If one is studying music, he unquestionably abides by the basic laws of music.

God the Saviour from all Ills

No one objects to the healing of sin by spiritual means alone, for the forgiveness of the sinner is the foundational belief of all Christian religions; and this result is sought without recourse to human devices or material aids.

Against Paternalism

Much as an improved standard of medical education is to be desired, anything in the way of restrictive legislation to this end savors both of protecting people against their own voluntary acts and of fostering monopoly.
The primary sources of energy for doing the world's work are gravity and heat.

Wrong Condemned

In attempting to discredit Christian Science, your correspondent groups it with theosophy and the religions of the Orient, and while it is not the intent of this article to depreciate the highest sense of good entertained by any individual, yet the classification of Christian Science with these religions is manifestly unjust, as even their own adherents regard them more as philosophies than religions.
