Reply To: The Christian Scientist has enlisted…

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!

From the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary:

Enlist
1. To engage in public service, by entering the name in a register; as, an officer enlists men.

Enlistment
The act of enlisting; the writing by which a soldier is bound.

Felt I should include these definitions, as they were helpful to me. Also it is easy to see that the writing that we are bound to in our “duty to God, to [our] Leader, and to mankind” (from the Daily Duties) is the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
