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 was alone in a strange city, in a boarding-house, with nothing but the entrance on a most difficult position; yet I knew that the fault was all my own, — that my Father-Mother God had not taken anything from me, — that it was now my time to drink “the cup of sorrowful effort” (Science and Health, p. 26).

Thanks for this article,it will be good for one of our periodicals. The fault is always ours! This honest admittance that it is my thinking and view of existence that needed changing was not clear and was very difficult at times. But understanding through Christian Science, that we live what we hold in our consciousness has helped me work more effectively. Only I can change my thinking with God’s help; that is why the admonition says:Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
