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!

Dear Florence,

Thank you for this post. I have been listening to 4 round tables from 2015 on the subject of animal magnetism. This subject tends to be avoided, in my experience, by “Christian Scientists” because they don’t understand it or know what it is, and it has become superstitious and something frightening. I had shared an article on the subject by Anne Beals with a friend and she is hesistant and said “Sometimes when one reads about animal magnetism they become under mental attack.” This is exactly what error wants, to be left alone.

This quote you shared I will share with her and it has helped me greatly as we cannot ignore the “claims” of animal magnetism and brush them to the side.

I am very grateful for all that is shared in this church as it is really helping me to understand things that before were mysterious and scary. The round tables from 2015 were extremely eye opening.
