The Law of Right Feeling
Rev. G. A. Kratzer

Since God is the creator and governor of the universe, ...the law of being, the law of every man’s mentality. ... Let one of our watchwords be, “No connection” between the good of the mind and discordant human or material circumstances. We can always say to ourselves that God is a sufficient reason for not fearing, not doubting, not worrying, not grieving.

Spiritual Man
Peter V. Ross

Mrs. Eddy makes perfect God and perfect man the inspiring starting point in Christian Science practice. ... Keep in mind, when reading about spiritual man or immortal man or the image and likeness of God, that you are reading about yourself. Remember that when a Christian Scientist, in his attempt to break some dream of suffering, is talking to you of the perfect man, he is speaking of you.

Letter on “Poise”
Edward A. Kimball

Maintain your peace and happiness by refusing to descend into the mud of cheap human rubbish, and know that your composure cannot be upset by every or any mortal who can be used to wallow in the mud. ... Nothing that anyone may think can possibly harm you. Do not believe otherwise. Fear is an utter fiction. It is always about nothing — or rather it is about its lie concerning something. It is never yours. ... Therefore be not afraid.

Errors About Man
Bicknell Young

That man is subject to chance, heredity, environment, the conduct or misconduct of other persons; that he is a creature of circumstance. These things never touch the real man. The only environment is the environment of divine Mind.

Forestalling Accidents
Herbert W. Cochran

God’s law results only in harmony. Obedience to spiritual law brings harmony to our human experience. Our existence is insecure only in proportion to our disobedience to God’s law. We have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by striving to understand the will of God, which is always good, and by a sincere effort to live up to the divine demands of Love.

Chemicalization and Tribulation
Paul R. Smillie

The world is feeling the cumulative effect of Christianly scientific thinking and mortal mind is revolting against this effect. ... We must steadfastly work to know what specific errors need to be uncovered and how to handle them for what they are; for it is only the Goliath of malicious animal magnetism in its many secret identities that we are dealing with. “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” (Matthew 24:42)

“Man, Arbiter of his Own Fate”
Mary Baker Eddy

The most precious of all possessions is power over ourselves, power to withstand evil, to bear trials, to front danger, power over pleasure and pain, power to follow our convictions however resisted by menace and scorn, the power of calm reliance in scenes of darkness, and fell revenge. No truth is more certain than this, that man is the arbiter of his own fate.

Our Mission in the World Is Individual
Martha Wilcox

Jesus prayed importunately when Lazarus came forth from the grave. To pray importunately does not mean to reach out or up desperately to some power outside our own self. To pray importunately is our own persistent and insistent effort to be that state of truth or understanding or realization that is the Christ, the real man that we already are.

The Impotence of Mesmerism
Paul Stark Seeley

Christian Science provides a far better defense against mesmerism than the repetition of the multiplication table. Its sure defense is the realization of the scientific fact that God is the one everywhere-present Mind; that in God’s kingdom there is no mortal mind or its materially-thinking puppets, some called mesmerists and some the mesmerized, to do its bidding. Every individual has God as his Life, his Mind.

What Constitutes Being Awake to Evil’s Claims
Herbert W. Eustace

The Christian Scientist is actively about his Father’s business. He is wide awake to the fact that evil ever keeps pace with good and he acts accordingly. He is not hurried, but to him each hour is valuable. Because God is constantly unfolding to His own idea the infinity of good, the wise man does not miss this wondrous unfoldment.

Five Wise Virgins — Five Foolish
M. J. L.

Faith, in its activity, is continually giving evidence of Life and Immortality beyond the grave; of perfect confidence in the Divine hand; of willingness to watch, labor, and wait, — knowing well the Lord is gracious, and will not forsake those who trust Him, — that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The works of faith are joy and peace, health and holiness.
