The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-04-03


ing outside Of perfect, Interchangeable,
divine law or order could provide
the means whereby the Saviour
lived, worked, and healed.
After years OF study and research,
Mrs. Eddy saw with spiritual clarity
the underlying Principle and rule OF
scientific being, saw Truth as II Is,
with its healing power. Her nature
being what It was-Wholly unselilsh,
and filled with love for God and
mankind-She could not possibly be
satisfied TO rest alone in her dis
covery and healing. She must 60
on with the work, and share the
blessing with all mankind. The
orderly footsteps taken by our
Leader, the crosses and prosecutions
she endured over the years, could
not be outlined within the scope Of
one lecture. One would have 70
know each step Of Mrs. Eddy's hu-
man experience TO appreciate, even
In a degree, what our Leader en-
dured and overcame in her efforts
to discover and reveal the truth.
But what she found in the inspired
Word of the Bible prepared and
fortified her for the work she was
divinely led to do. The truth or
being, which Jesus revealed-hidden
as It had been for centuries under
a mass of material observances and
literal interpretations almost devoid
OF the spirit-dawned upon Mrs.
Eddy's consciousness, and in the
clear light of divine revelation, she
saw what could be and must be
done for mankind.
It was not long after her dis
covery that Mrs. Eddy realized what
the work required in self-offerlng
and self-sacrifice. Undaunted, she
rose above almost heart breaking
human situations and conditions
Through her own reflection OF the
divine consciousness, Mrs. Eddy was
able to shut out the personal sense
OF hardship and suffering. Aided by
God alone, Mrs. Eddy was able TO
write the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" 1t Is the text
book which provides for all mankind
a spiritual, practical pattern and
method Of christianity scientific
teaching and healing. Thousands do
know what our Leader has done.
Few, II any, realize what her dis
covery and work entailed. Ridicule,
condemnation, isolation, desertion
by family and friends-these were
a few of the things our Leader en-
dured. But out of the years Of pa
tent study, prayer, and self-sacri-
fee. there has come in our age this
great healing agency. 1t is Mrs. Ed
dy's discovery Of Christian Science,
the perfect Science Of Life, Truth,
and Love.
Jesus prayed that Gods kingdom,
the manifestation Of divine power,
would be realized here on earth
as in heaven. Christian Science
proves that the reign Of absolute
good is at hand, and that Gods
power can be demonstrated. Mrs.
Eddy has given TO the world its
greatest present-day blessing. And
some day the whole world will give
back to her genuine gratitude for
the work she has done. Her fol-
lowers are doing this now every
time they think and express the
pure idea OF Truth.
The Light that Does Not Fail
Speaking of her discovery, Mrs.
Eddy writes (Science and Health,
Pref, D. viiD: The question, What
is Truth, is answered by demonStra-
tion,-by healing both disease and
sin; and this demonstration shows
that Christian healing confers the
most health and makes the best
men. On this basis Christian Science
will have fair fight" And few
pages farther on she states tp. X:
The author has not compromised
conscience TO suit the general DRIFT
of thought, but has bluntly and
honestly given the text Of Truth. -.
BY thousands of well-authenticated
cases Of healing she and her stu
dents have proved the worth OF her
teachings" After all, what better
proof could one have than the heal
Ing Of thousands2 Curing the sick,
as well as the needy and shining
is not that sufficient proof OF the
right idea OF God and His work for
man?
Mrs. Eddy looked deep into spirit
ual reality, and discovered the glorl-
Gus Specification OF the inspired
Word, or the divine law. In II, she
recognized the Principle OF true
being and living. Seeing that God
is infinite goodness, recognizing and
accepting the light that never fails,
Mrs. Eddy was able TO provide Tor
mankind the thing that 1t needs.
Her discovery and teachings reveal
how spiritual mindedness, so native
TO all good men, women, and chill
dren, could and should be used at
all times. Spiritual consciousness
saved Mrs. Eddys life after physi-
clans had pronounced a death sem
tence from the effects OF a fall.
Christian Science, as revealed by
Mrs. Eddy, will continue TO bring TO
those who fully accept it the great
est blessings. All religiously- minded
persons prove the truth OF being In
some measure. Christian Science
helps mankind TO demonstrate free
dom along every line.
Present day conditions present a
great need for intelligent, spiritual
direction in everyday affairs. mat
mankind requires more than merely
human planning and help is quite
ushn thew
should. Were we to submit TO the
general thought regarding world
war. sickness, and limitation, We
might easily be made TO believe
that there is no way out. The var
ious claims OF the carnal mind, with
its evil suggestions and acceptance
OF a power other than good, would
tend TO discourage even the best OF
thinkers. But all true Christians
