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!

Thank you so much for this post. I love the image of a legislator arguing “to defeat the passage of an inhuman law”, and how passionate he would need to be to make his case. He would rise in front of the legislative body, and–using every fiber of his being–awaken the other legislators to join him in rejecting a wrong position by revealing the truth about the situation. He can’t be bland or passive, but he must show moral backbone! And there truly is power in truth: “Honesty is spiritual power” (S&H, p. 453)…and, as the above definition of “powerful” states, it is “able to produce great effects”!
