I was "off the air" all day yesterday. Did
the “unplug and re-plug the modem” this morning and it worked.
Are we inclined to think we pray a lot for
ourselves because we read the Lesson each day without fail? Spend time on
the Internet looking up lectures and articles? Reading the periodicals
including The Christian Science Monitor? Yes, we need all these. But on
p. 315 of We Knew Mary Baker Eddy
Amplified Edition Vol II, Anna B. White Baker records Mrs Eddy as saying,
“Students do not pray enough. They should go by themselves at least three
times a day to pray. Their prayers should consist of much giving thanks,
more realization of the perfect as well as the denial of error. There is
too much denial of error and too little realization of the perfect.”
There is no doubt about it – ‘The song of
Christian Science is, “Work – Work – Work – watch and pray.”’ Message
to The Mother Church for 1900.
Now, why is that phrase given inverted
commas? Is it the name of the song? A quote from somewhere
else? I must seek info on Concord.
When I get back on line – have been off most of the day!
Finally got back on line, to find no references
elsewhere to “Work – Work – Work – watch and pray”. So the inverted
commas must signify the name of the song.
