Saul eyed David from that day…

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!

    “8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?

    9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.” I Samuel 18

    “The following is copied from a notebook kept by Mary Baker Eddy in her own handwriting: … ‘Envy, jealousy, or rivalry will kill the spirit of this Science in the person who possesses it and will thwart the establishment of it in this age. Oh, why is not this realized by everyone who has the Cause at heart and who has labored faithfully in some directions for its advancement?'” from Collectanea of Items by and About Mary Baker Eddy compiled by Gilbert Carpenter, Jr.

    Rivalry: Competition; a strife or effort to obtain an object which another is pursuing; an endeavor to equal or surpass another in some excellence.(Webster’s 1828)

    During our last Roundtable the importance of feeling reverence in our heart for God was addressed. It made me ask myself, “If I am not feeling this then what am I feeling?” As instructed I am not thinking with God while harboring jealousy, resentment, etc. I am grateful to have these deep lessons that are meant to protect this Science and those striving to practice it correctly.
