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 thought about this citation too. At first glance tenderness seemed not to go with “might”
From the 1828 dictionary tenderness is:
3. Kind attention; anxiety for the good of another, or to save him from pain.
4. Scrupulousness; caution; extreme care or concern not to give or to commit offense; as tenderness of conscience.
These definitions makes tenderness and might a perfect fit. Perhaps like Mercy and Judgement.Grateful for the
practice of looking up words for their expanded meanings.


Love is the liberator.
