Argue for, claim, declare, affirm our immortality daily

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!

    “The evidence of man’s immortality will become more apparent, as material beliefs are given up and the immortal facts of being are admitted.” (S & H, p. 428 – Citation #6)

    “Admit” – to grant entrance…into the mind; to receive as true (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary).

    I continue to enjoy re-reading Dorothy Rieke’s article, “Immortality Brought to Light,” each time we have the Lesson entitled “Mortals and Immortals.” What struck me this time is the following statement which instructs us on our part in how evidence of our immortality “will become more apparent”:

    “We are the attorneys for the case of immortality now, by declaring we are so. . . . how much more rapid will be our progress if we argue for, claim, declare, affirm our immortality now? The prayer of affirmation is the highest, most powerful form of prayer. Thus let our first waking thought in the morning and the last at night be one of affirmation and rejoicing that we are immortal. A hundred times a day, let us tune in on the infinite, and thank our heavenly Father that we are His immortal children.”

    I am grateful to have this sage advice to add to my morning prayer arsenal, along with the PF instruction to declare, “before [my] feet hit the floor,” that “God is Mind/Life. God is my mind/life. God is the only pure and perfect Mind/Life.”
