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 article ‘The Smell of Fire’
From the March 1920 issue of The Christian Science Journal by Louise Knight Wheatley

“Let us never forget that it was right there, in the midst of the fire, that the Hebrew captives saw the vision of the Christ. Their human extremity was so great that they rose to a spiritual height, and beheld man as he really is, spiritual and not material. Even King Nebuchadnezzar saw the vision. “Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” he cried in amazement; “Lo, I see four men loose, walking, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”
