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!

Thank you! Obedience is mentioned 14 times in our Lesson this week. 1828 Webster dictionary states in part about obedience;”Compliance with a command, performance of what is required, or abstaining from what is prohibited in compliance with the command or prohibition, forbearance to act must be in submission to authority, the command must be known to the person, and his compliance must be in consequence to it. Voluntary obedience alone can be acceptable to God.(!)”
It is then that sometime we…”shall rest , sit down with him in full understanding of the divine Principle which triumphs over death.”
