Two Opinions

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!

    “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him.” (1 Kings 18:21)

    In an undated, unpublished early sermon on “Mental Healing”, Mrs. Eddy discusses these two opposing opinions of reality, establishing the fact that there is only one, and that one opinion has no opposite whatsoever:

    “Great epochs begin with the appearing of a great Truth. He who studies life aright never sneers at abstractions, the unseen Principle of things, but proportionately as he sees the unseen, even the permanence of harmony, health, and happiness, he discerns the next great fact of mental Science, namely, the transitoriness, yea, the unreality of discord, sickness, and sorrow, and build a befitting shrine for his own divinity: a healthy body to suit a healthy mind,

    “Then life and its surroundings become a solid fact, a stubborn something amid these transitory nothings; and the gossamer thread of Metaphysics, unraveled by Science, is no longer a fine-spun tangle, fragile or obscure, but strengthens as mind in the ratio that it disappears as matter, and become the twisted cordage of invulnerable resistance with which our blessed Lord, the Master Metaphysician, drove out the seats of money-changers: the traffickers in things without substance, without the realities of Truth and science.”
