MARY BAKER EDDY
Christ Jesus spent the first thirty
years of his human experience pre-
pairing for the years OF his teaching
and ministry. Mary Baker Eddy
spent the frat forty and more years
OF her human life searching for that
understanding Of God which would
heal the Ills OF mon. Christian
Science was not discovered by chance
or In moment. On page i0I OF
Science and Health. Mrs. Eddy says,
I'm the year 1866. discovered the
Christ Science or divine laws OF Life,
Truth. and Love. and named my dis
coyery Chrlatlan Science. God had
been Rraciously preparing mo during
many years for the reception of this
final revelation Of the absolute divine
Principle Of scientific mental heal.
ing TheSe years OF preparation
had been years filled to the full with
sickness. sorrow, and dlsappont'
ments. The arrogant human mind
finds Il difficult to understand why
Il was that the bearer OF Gods great
message was u quiet, gentleman
nered New England woman. for hui
man reasoning fails TO see the divine
law and order expressed In Mrs.
Eddy's discovery. But lie who sent
the message must needs choose the
messenger and His wisdom could not
err. Beneath the gentle.mannered
personality was a heart filled with
high resolve. courage that never
saltercd. aud a consciousness ever
turning to God. listening to hear
willing TO obey. No other was 50
ready and no other could inscrlbe SC
well the divine utterance which
Science and Health gives to men.
We may praise God that the day.
OF our Misunderstanding OF Him are
ended through the life-work Of Mrs
Eddy. The longing OF millions o
earnest men and women to under
stand God has been satisfied. Before
the loavenng truth OF Christian
Science the walls of universal indli
ference and opposition to spiritua
law are crumbling. Mary Bake
Eddy has become the leader of
great army. the army of a neS
Israel, composed Of those who hay
seen something OF the vision of III
Christ, the right idea of God am
man. This army is on the marcl
with songs of gladness and wit
weapons undefeatable. The objectiv
Is the New Jerusalem, the city O
God built without hands, eternal J
the heavens, even the consciousness
: which unites men with eternal goo
: and forever delivers them fror
finite evil.
+ Like Christ Jesus, Mrs. Eddy dii
: cerned that only by its healing work
, can a church justify its existence
. Because the Christian Science churc
I is based on this unshakeable foul

e sidious attacks aimed at Christian
