Half the attention

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!

    “If half the attention given to hygiene were given to the study of Christian Science and to the spiritualization of thought, this alone would usher in the millennium.” (S&H) I always find this statement extremely sobering. What could possibly be of greater value than to usher in the millennium – the reign of Christ for 1,000 years? What could possibly be of greater value for all of mankind than the spiritualization of thought? I can only ask myself how much time each day do I devote to “the study and of Christian Science and the spiritualization of thought”? And continue to strive to do better for everything is at stake!

    Thank you!
    When I read this in the Lesson, it brought to mind what Matthew Henry said regarding seeking God first and being present with the Lord:
    “…the true Christian soars like the lark, higher and higher, forgetting the things that are beneath.”
    Who would not want to soar above the false pictures which God never made?!
