Yielding not to discouragement

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!

    This lesson and preparing for this week’s Bible Study directed me to Mrs. Eddy’s “Allegory” set forth on pages 323-328 of Miscellaneous Writings, which provides a powerful comparison of the “mortal v. immortal” path. The last paragraph starts with, “He alone ascends the hill of Christian Science who follows the Way-shower, the spiritual presence and idea of God. Whatever obstructs the way, — causing to stumble, fall, or faint, those mortals who are striving to enter the path, — divine Love will remove; and uplift the fallen and strengthen the weak.” A fortifying reminder to “yield not to discouragement” despite the severity or duration of what would seem to be a binding mortal problem. (Of note, it appears the original Journal article version of Mrs. Eddy’s “Allegory” from the September 1886 Journal has a few variations one may find of interest.)
