Job and Carpenter – What They Have in Common

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 was reading the story of Job in our Lesson this week and came upon the last Chapter 42, I realized that the ‘power of prayer’ demonstrated by Job, was the same “Power of Prayer,” written about by Gilbert Carpenter, Sr. in his article on the same topic, where Mr. Carpenter said, “I let my thought go out to all who needed God realizing that God is All-Presence, All-Power, and Love. When I returned from this mental journey, I found myself well. Through this prayer, I restored my thought to being a channel for good, and eliminated the ill-effects which were evidence of an in-turned thought.” This is exactly what happened to Job. “And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.” (Job 42:10) So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:” (Job 42:12) I was so happy to see the spiritual thread of the Science we are being taught at Plainfield, flowing out from this Biblical story.
