“…matter can make no conditions for man.”

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!

    “…matter can make no conditions for man.” from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 120
    “The medical schools would learn the state of man from matter instead of from Mind. They examine the lungs, tongue, and pulse to ascertain how much harmony, or health, matter is permitting to matter, — how much pain or pleasure, action or stagnation, one form of matter is allowing another form of matter.” From Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 159

    “Condition: State; a particular manner of existing or being; quality.” Websters Dictionary

    This Bible lesson made me more aware that I was using the line, “matter can make no conditions for man” as a treatment for disease only. Yet it says “no conditions” so that includes what is considered good. At a recent Roundtable a quote was given reminding us to translate all back to Spirit. If We Say, “I Want” From Collected Writings by Bicknell Young “Someone said, ‘It seems to me, the claim constantly is, that we cannot see Spirit.’ The answer was, ‘My dear, you cannot see anything else, but Spirit; it would be impossible to, even if you tried.’”
    Spirit, God is all, the only cause, and source of “conditions for man” not matter. Spirit is only good! God is our source for comfort, strength, peace, supply, satisfaction, joy, freedom, etc.

    Our Daily watch this week is helpful also.
