COMMUNION ADDRESS – 2

     Job says, “How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust [matter], who crumble to pieces as if moth eaten?”  God, not man — the Principle, and not the idea — shall answer this question, and then return to the First  Commandment, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”  We ask, “What is this Me; is it Spirit or matter?”  The Scriptures declare that, “God is a Spirit.”  Thence it follows that His command is, “Thou shalt have no other mind or substance but Spirit,” and this defines a rock whose substance is Truth, The Rock of Ages.  Mary Baker Eddy

COMMUNION ADDRESS – 1

     Touch a rock with your fingers, and the evidence of its being substance is but the opinion that mortals entertain of solids.  Change this opinion in a dream, and the rock would disappear.  Dreams interpret all phenomena of mortal life, for this so-called life is but a dream, a dream soon told; and waking from this dream, we learn that Life and man are immortal.  Mary Baker Eddy

There is nothing present or has power apart from divine Life, Truth, and Love as infinite Mind, that can possibly control or confuse my thought, obscure my spiritual percep­tion, or hinder my progress in Christian Science spiritual­ly, mentally, morally, physically, financially, or any other way.  Mary Baker Eddy

What is Life? Life is divine Mind. What is Mind? Mind is the element or substance that thinks. Mind is the only thinker. Nothing else thinks. There is nothing else to think. There is nothing either good or bad until some­thing appears on the scene. Everything is “without form and void” until this something appears. Mind is the primal element. Think­ing is the Mind’s activity. Therefore Mind and its thinking is all there is. Then we see that Mind and its thinking is the basis of life. Everything seen in the world today proceeds from think­ing.  Mary Baker Eddy

There is no physical law that has any reality to oper­ate through my personality to harm me, to separate me from my true spiritual being in the Truth, to separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus, to separate me from harmo­ny.  Mary Baker Eddy

  “The rod that Moses threw down, became through God the power of good.  The rod Moses had, God did not give him, but God commanded him to throw it down, and it became a serpent, his enemy.

      “Then God spoke to Moses (who fled in fear) and commanded him to pick up the serpent (demonstrate the nothingness) and it became a rod.

       “He could not expect to throw away the rod power at once, but must take it up as a staff – let it become the power of God – see it (sickness, error) work in us unto salvation.” Mary Baker Eddy

“God told Moses to handle the serpent, but Moses tried to run away from it. God told him to go back and handle it.  Moses said, ‘Where is the serpent?  God did not make one.’ God said, ‘Handle the serpent,’  and he did, and it became a rod.  The rod of Moses was malicious mesmerism, and when he handled it, it was a power, for he had power over lords many and gods many, and it was a staff to lean upon.”  Mary Baker Eddy

“A nerve is the talking serpent that was a lie from the beginning.  Error is the talking serpent that talks to you against Mother and Jesus and yourself and your brethren, and cannot talk at all.  Truth is. Let God talk all the time; there is nothing else.  Serpent is mere belief – explained by the words, ‘A belief of personal sense that is governed by the Truth, is a harmonious belief.  A harmonious belief governed by the Truth, is spiritual sense – understanding.’  Mary Baker Eddy

This law of God is universal, infinite and eternal by virtue of God’s Allness and that God cannot know what is outside of Divine knowing namely that there is something beside Him, Good.  But His law reaches with its spirit and intelligent working every error supposable because it is the law that defines God as All and that there is none beside Him, hence that there is no error.  Mary Baker Eddy
