What Is Real?

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 love Science and Health, p335:27-31 where Mrs. Eddy reminds us once again about Reality.
    She says, “Reality is spiritual, harmonious, immutable, immortal, divine, eternal.
    Nothing unspiritual can be real, harmonious, or eternal. Sin, sickness, and mortality are the suppositional antipodes of Spirit, and must be contradictions of reality.”

    This makes me pray, “Oh Father-Mother open my eyes that I may see and my ears that I may hear what is true by thee.
    Then let me bear the message of Truth to your children everywhere. This Methodist hymn by Clara Scott (first brought to my attention by a patient)comes to thought and the lyrics are humbling and prayerful!

    1 Open my eyes that I may see
    glimpses of truth thou hast for me.
    Place in my hands the wonderful key
    that shall unclasp and set me free.
    Silently now I wait for thee,
    ready, my God, thy will to see.
    Open my eyes, illumine me,
    Spirit divine!

    2 Open my ears that I may hear
    voices of truth thou sendest clear,
    and while the wave notes fall on my ear,
    ev’rything false will disappear.
    Silently now I wait for thee,
    ready, my God, thy will to see.
    Open my ears, illumine me,
    Spirit divine!

    3 Open my mouth and let me bear
    gladly the warm truth ev’rywhere.
    Open my heart and let me prepare
    love with thy children thus to share.
    Silently now I wait for thee,
    ready, my God, thy will to see.
    Open my mouth, illumine me,
    Spirit divine!
