It is such a pleasure to re-read the letters from Mrs. Eddy to the
churches. One finds old friends which re-delight us. For instance I find I have
marked I find I have marked the following passages in Miscellany:
Thus may each member of this church
rise above the oft-repeated inquiry, What am I? to the scientific response: I
am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is my rock of
salvation and my reason for existing (165: 18);
He who is afraid of being too generous
has lost the power of being magnanimous (165: 26-27);
and
When we are willing to help and to be
helped, divine aid is near (166: 19-20).
We can always expect to be inspired by different words of wisdom each
time we re-read Mrs. Eddy’s writings, as I was when I read:
…let our measure of time and joy be
spiritual, not material (166:23).
We have progressed spiritually each time we come to re-read, and we can
say with joy, Alleluia!
