  “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

     But does the student see the rule of moral and spiritual mathematics as     imperative, yea, more imperative, a stronger demand upon the example that works out the great problem of Life in its harmony, grandeur, perpetual goodness, and immortality.  Mary Baker Eddy

     Now the student perceives readily this mathematical rule of metaphysics as applied to healing the sick. He sticks tenaciously to the fact of man’s inseparability from God, good — the eternal coincidence of divine Principle and divine idea being carried out in a healthy God and a healthy man — and his adherence to this unerring rule of being demonstrates the statement, Truth, for it heals the sick, and this sequence proves the premise, Science, an unchanging order of God.  Mary Baker Eddy

     The mathematics of metaphysics are undeniable and demonstrable. Ethically and hygienically they are Yea and Amen. Neither conservatism, sin, nor a single error can enter them and they remain metaphysics or Christian Science. Their etymology differs from that of material numbers or arith­metic, in this — there is no division of numbers — all its numerals are one. It does not count thus — one, two, three, four, five — but it does numerate as follows: one once, one twice, one thrice, one four times, and so on.

     Here the eternal, universal, and forever one is seen and un­derstood in the order of Science. Any departure from oneness is leaving Science and accepting the evidence and testimony of the senses in direct opposition of Science.  Mary Baker Eddy

The Christ, or Truth, the manifestation of God, does supersede my belief that my true being, that real life and intelligence, are in matter. We have immortality now, not shall have.  Mary Baker Eddy

Take courage, dear heart, God loves you, Mother loves you, and evil has no more power than what you give it.  We all need to know this.  If we do rightly,we shall in the end reap what we sow; if not, and we do wrongly, we shall as surely in the end be punished for it.  Then let us be wise today.  Tomorrow is not ours.  When we reach it, it is gone.    Mary Baker Eddy
