7.6.15. Having now re-read the Foreword,
I am thinking that it was perhaps dictated to Mr. Strang by Mrs. Eddy. To
me, it reads like her writing.
9.6.15. This morning I read the first page of Mrs.
Eddy’s “Choose Ye” (page 3 of our book) and was thrilled with her
definition of Christian Science in the second paragraph. I loved it so much -
such a feeling of goodness - and I have sometimes experienced it as a “persuasive
animus”, an “unerring impetus”, “an ever-present help.” Then I read the
Lesson Sermon on God the Preserver of Man from the Christian Science Quarterly. How the first section's Bible verses equated with that definition
for me. This is not something one can put into words. Except to say
that it gives a warm feeling around the heart.
Here is an excerpt from Section 1 of this week's Bible Lesson:
For the Lord’s portion is his
people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and
in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept
him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over
her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. He made
him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the
fields;
