Page 1 - How would you define Christian Science? AS the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and •**• demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony.
Page 11 - Health is the consciousness of the unreality of pain and disease ; or, rather, the absolute consciousness of harmony and of nothing else.
Page 10 - Disease is a thing of thought manifested on the body; and fear is the procurator of the thought which causes sickness and suffering. Remove this fear by the true sense that God is Love, — and that Love punishes nothing but sin, — and the patient can then look up to the loving God, and know that He afflicteth not willingly the children of men, who are punished because of disobedience to His spiritual law. His law of Truth, when obeyed, removes every erroneous physical and mental state.
Page 2 - Other definitions of person, as given by Webster, are "a living soul; a self-conscious being; a moral agent; especially, a living human being, a corporeal man, woman, or child; an individual of the human race." He adds, that among Trinitarian Christians the word stands for one of the three subjects, or agents, constituting the Godhead. In Christian Science we learn that God is definitely individual, and not a person, as that word is used by the best authorities, if our lexicographers are right in...
Page 8 - Spirit, than natural science, so-called, or material laws, bring about alteration of species by transforming minerals into vegetables or plants into animals, — thus confusing and confounding the three great kingdoms.

To sense, the lion of to-day is the lion of six thousand years ago; but in Science, Spirit sends forth its own harmless likeness.
Page 9 - To heal ... is to base your practice on immortal Mind, the divine Principle of man's being; and this requires a preparation of the heart and an answer of the lips from the Lord.
Page 17 - The Discoverer of this Science could tell you of timidity, of self-distrust, of friendlessness, toil, agonies, and victories, under which she needed miraculous vision to sustain her, when taking the first footsteps in this Science.
Page 5 - If, as the Scriptures declare, God is All-in-all, then all must be Mind, since God is Mind. Therefore in divine Science there is no material mortal man, for man is spiritual and eternal, he being made in the image of Spirit, or God.
Page 4 - Is God the Principle of all science, or only of Divine or Christian Science? Science is Mind manifested. It is not material ; neither is it of human origin. All true Science represents a moral and spiritual force, which holds the earth in its orbit.
Page 7 - ... any means; but that the simplest case, healed in Science, is as demonstrably scientific, in a small degree, as the most difficult case so treated. The infinite and subtler conceptions and consistencies of Christian Science are set forth in my work Science and Health. Is man material or spiritual ? In Science, man is the manifest reflection of God, perfect and immortal Mind. He is the likeness of God; and His likeness would be lost if inverted or perverted. According to the evidence of the so-called...
