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!

Mary Beth’s post about envy is quite a wakeup call. I don’t think I ever before recognized how serious it is, and sometimes it comes in subtle, or what appear at first to be harmless forms. In searching Science and Health I found that Mrs. Eddy groups envy with some very Godless traits, for example, “Falsehood, envy, hypocrisy, malice, hate, revenge, and so forth, steal away the treasures of Truth” (SH 241:9-11) and in further support of how serious, “Man’s enslavement to the most relentless masters — passion, selfishness, envy, hatred, and revenge — is conquered only by a mighty struggle.” (SH 407:6-8)
