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 for this post. I hadn’t heard this aphorism before. It reminds me of situations when the WHOLE truth would have been truly helpful, instead of just a partial truth. Sometimes what is OMITTED would have been the missing piece to save a lot of grief. BUT, that means facing the situation, and isn’t it more expedient for some to kick the can down the road, or just be lazy? But when the problem surfaces down the road, as they tend to do, things are worse. Which is why I love Mrs. Eddy’s statement, “Honesty is spiritual power.” (S&H p. 453) And also, “When needed tell the truth concerning the lie. Evasion of Truth cripples integrity, and casts thee down from the pinnacle. … A dishonest position is far from Christianly scientific. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: …” (S&H p. 448). The warnings are all there!
