The poem in Christ and Christmas has many Biblical references. At least one is from the book of Hebrews, as was discovered by Queensland Christian Science practitioner Don Wilson. In his May 2021 article, "Man was never born into matter", in The Christian Science Journal, he writes:
At a Church summit meeting a speaker spoke about Melchizedek. For me the story of this prophet became an area to research in order to understand him spiritually. The first help I received came in Mrs. Eddy’s poem “Christ and Christmas,” where in its Glossary she quoted from Hebrews, “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God” (7:3).
How lovely to ponder this text. Thank you Don.
