Progress
by Chardelle Hull
I’m very grateful for learning here at Plainfield Christian Science Church, Independent, what “progress” really means. It has been stated several times, during our Roundtables, held every Sunday at 10 o'clock , that progress is a law, and it is happening in our experience, sometimes unawares. When we strive, watch, work and pray, progress is taking place. While pondering this beyond a personal level I became aware that our church, Christian Science, is “progress” for the whole world; teaching true Christianity, spreading the Gospel through Christian Science just as Mary Baker Eddy intended. This was also the intent and desire of the Apostle Paul. As Edgar J. Goodspeed wrote: “Now with the gift of the Holy Spirit, God's love has flooded our hearts. This magnificent amnesty, which was the heart of the Gospel, had tremendous consequences for those who accepted it in faith ... as sons of God, never to be separated from His love. Paul had found the river of the love of God, and his gospel was to make it known to all whom he could reach.”
We here at Plainfield gladly and with joy carry the torch of the gospel of Truth with every church activity and our most outstanding websites. God bless our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has made it possible to maintain, carry on, prosper, and progress the Gospel of Truth and Love. Also, may God bless this Church.
