Thus progress will finally destroy all error.

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!

    “Being is holiness, harmony, immortality. It is already proved that a knowledge of this, even in small degree, will uplift the physical and moral standard of mortals, will increase longevity, will purify and elevate character. Thus progress will finally destroy all error, and bring immortality to light.” from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 492 : 7-12

    “…we may read a lot, listen to many splendid lectures; we may vision harmony and good; and yet live in discord and sickness and limitation, … How often we finish our mental work, close the book, only to return immediately to our inharmonies. … The science of our perfect being is of practical value only as we are expressing increased, concrete health, wealth, and longevity. … The science of our Divinity should be practical in overcoming worry and ignorance, sin, sickness, and death. The Kingdom is ‘come in earth as it is in heaven.’”
    Addresses by Martha Wilcox, page 414-415

    I came across this second paragraph a few days ago that I thought corresponded with the above citation from S.& H. All we need is “knowledge of this, even in small degree” to progress and make this Truth practical. Mrs. Wilcox writes in detail about making the Truth practical in the chapter, ‘The Word Was Made Flesh’ She stresses that we must make practical / prove what we are saying and reading as instructed weekly here. The step-by-step process, taking each opportunity in even little things to prove God’s allness brings great comfort and confidence. Sometimes it is so easy to read a lot and not truly absorb it so it becomes practical in daily living or to go about our day mindlessly doing our tasks.
