The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

I used to think before learning Christian Science that I had to give something that cost a lot of money to be a cheerful giver. I needed to feel that I had sacrificed something that I had worked hard for. That was the human sense of giving.

Now I know even a smile or a kind word is being a cheerful giver if it is done with a pure motive and the love of God behind it. It is not the outward appearance, but what is in the heart.
