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!

When I read the above post it brought to mind the following citation from Science and Health that is in the Lesson for this week. The rules and Principles of God must be obeyed and it has dawned on me to face a wrong thought before it has a chance to get a hold on me, is a wise thing to do. Since coming to Plainfield and becoming a member it is somewhat easier to recognize a wrong thought or error and do something about it right away. Then the unreality of it is right there to behold. (I am the servant and child of God.)
452: 5-6, 12-17
The wrong thought should be arrested before it has a chance to manifest itself.
When error confronts you, withhold not the rebuke or the explanation which destroys error. Never breathe an immoral atmosphere, unless in the attempt to purify it. Better is the frugal intellectual repast with contentment and virtue, than the luxury of learning with egotism and vice.
