I
remember the books “Message to The Mother Church for 1900” and “Message to The
Mother Church for 1901” because they give me a definite date for the last year
of the 19th Century and the first of the 20th
Century. This reminds me of the discussion regarding whether the year 2000 or the year 2001 marked the first year of the 21st
Century: 2000 won that discussion. I wonder what will
happen when the 22nd century dawns?
There
are some very impressive truths given to us by Mary Baker Eddy in our March
book – the 1900 Message.
Page 2. How could one
forget “The Song of Christian Science is, “Work – work – work – watch and
pray.””? And the strong sentiments which follow about the three types of
human nature. Where do we classify ourselves amongst the three types: The
right thinker; the idler; the intermediate? Do we fall into different
classes at different times, something I feel is exemplified in Jesus parable of
the sower and the seed (Luke 8:5-15)? I feel I have
fitted each of the descriptions at different times, although certainly one has
fallen far short of the standard of the “right thinker.” The
thought that takes my attention this time is that “he earns his money and gives
it wisely to the world.” Wow!
