Christian Scientists love the Bible.
They declare it to be the Book of all
books, as it is the Book of life. Its
inspired pages contain the secrets of
all being. All that pertains to Chris
tian Science Mrs. Eddy cleaned from
divine inspiration and the Bible.
She found that the Bible has two
fold meaning, one the literal or ma
terial, and the other the spiritual.
This discovery cleared up the seem
ing contradictions and revealed the
divine order of being.
With the help which Christian
Scientists receive from their text
book the study of the Bible becomes
an inspiration. The seemingly dark
and hidden sayings, which have
puzzled the ages, become clear and
luminous under the searchlight of
Christian Science, and Christian
Scientists hunt for the new and price
less gems in the stimulating pages of
that dear old book, even as the miner
eXpectantly and eagerly digs for
treasure.
Mrs. Eddy's Healing.
Mrs. Eddy's first awakening to the
divine healing power came to her
when, from the effects of an accident,
her recovery seemed beyond all earthly
hope. Her early spiritual training
tended to inspire confidence in the
power of God to heal the sick, so,
when man had reached his extremity
and failed, she turned to God to YER
ify that early confidence. Her heal
ing was instantaneous From that
moment the new light of Truth
dawned upon her, which, in the Pre-
face of Science and Health 70. viii,
she describes as 1.-The first steps of a
child in the newly discovered world
of Spirit"
Mrs. Eddy had discovered the law
of spiritual healing, and she brought
the blessed message to the world that
there is a comforter for every sorrow,
however despairing; that there is
law of restoration for every fear and
disease; a publication for every sin,
and a panacea for every i'll. Because
1T is the same law known to and
taught by Christ Jesus, and because
its operation is governed by scientific
Principle, Mrs. Eddy named it Chris
ton Science. 1t is undoubtedly the
comforter" and the Spirit of
truth" which the Master promised
would come again-and it has come,
to remain forever.
Let him that is athirst come.
And whosoeyer will, let him take the
water of life freely"
Christian Scientists worship God
only. The imputation that they wor-
ship otherwise is wholly false. 1t is
our greatest concern to live in strict
obedience to the law as given in the
first commandment. The success of
every Christian Scientist depends up
on it. Indeed, to have absolutely no
other gods than the one infinite Mind
is the rule with which all healing is
Because Of the numberleSS blessings
which have come to them through
Christian Science, Christian Scientists
revere the name of Mary Baker Eddy,
and love her with true sincerity and
tenderness. Through her discovery
of Christian Science, God has made
His face to shine upon enslaved
humanity. Because Mrs. Eddy was
obedient to the command to love God
above all things, she loved humanity
also, and lived a life of constant,
prayerful devotion to God, in order to
save the fallen and heal the sick.
She sought no earthly glory or favor.
All she asked was that men should
hear the divine message which makes
free.
On Bedloe's island, in New York
harbor, stands a colossal bronze statue
of woman holding aloft a lighted
torch, symbOlizing Liberty enlight-
ening the world" 1t is an inspiring
and noble idea-a figure full of mean
ing, seeming to assure to the alien the
liberty, well-being and happiness of
which he has dreamed, and making
light the harbor in glad "welcome
home" for every returning wanderer.
Even so there is another harbor, at
the entrance whereof every storm
tossed man who has sailed the I'M
charted sea of error will find-Christ-

ing of a woman holds aloft this light
of Truth and liberty, enlightening
the world, and showing the alien and
the wanderer the way to enter the
promised land-"the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding"
