"sacrifice everything for it"

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!

    “We know that a desire for holiness is requisite in order to gain holiness; but if we desire holiness above all else, we shall sacrifice everything for it.” by Mary Baker Eddy from Science and Health, page 11

    “It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one” (unknown author).

    “The possibility of people being swayed by the thinking of the mass is lessened as individual and independent thinking is encouraged, since independent thinkers protest against mob mesmerism. Carlyle said, ‘Great is the combined voice of men: he who can resist that, has his footing somewhere beyond time.'” from Precepts 3 by Gilbert Carpenter

    I am grateful for all that is taught and lived at Plainfield church to help us become independent thinkers under God. As was pointed out recently it is written, “Christian Scientists must live under the constant pressure of the apostolic command to come out from the material world and be separate.” (S. & H.) There is no way to serve God and not protest against mob mesmerism. Thank you for this Lesson on living this Science in our daily lives.
