As always, thank you!

Our Leader’s words remind me of this marvelous statement by Herbert Eustace:

“The Christian Scientist wars against everything unlike good. He knows that the proof that Christian Science is Science–exact knowing–rests with him. He does not sit down meekly and let evil walk over him. He does the “walking” as Jesus did.”

Christian Science It’s “Clear Correct Teaching” And Other Complete Writings
By Herbert W. Eustace, C.S.B., Pg. 293-296
HEREDITY
“The human concept of heredity, no matter in what form it appears, is always based on the belief of a beginning: in other words, an origin, from which characteristics, etc. are derived.
Heredity implies something existent prior to birth.
This invites the question, When does the so-called mortal begin?
Does he begin at his so-called birth, or does he begin prior to birth, at the point of conception?
The conception of a finite or mortal sense is the origin of the lie or negation about the divine sense.
When does any lie begin? Is it not with the conceiving of the lie?
Then the lie about the divine man begins with the conceiving of the false belief that he has a beginning.
Because of this, Science and Health says of mortals, “They never had a perfect state of being, which may subsequently be regained. They were, from the beginning of mortal history, conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity.” (S&H 476:14)
Because prior to his conception there is nothing to the mortal except the man of God about which the mortal concept is the lie, and because no hereditary claim is made about any influence coming after birth, it follows that every hereditary belief must be a belief that supposedly originated during the interval between what is called conception and what is called birth.
This is known as the period of pregnancy or gestation.
Then the specific claim of heredity must be one of pregnancy.
The human or false concept of pregnancy is the belief that the young mind or mortal is being formed and during this formative period is susceptible to impregnation with various beliefs, later to be shown forth as personal traits of character and tendencies to disease ending in death.
The true concept of pregnancy is that which infinite Mind always is, infinitely pregnant with its own illimitable idea, having nothing outside of itself with which to inflict any untoward condition on that with which it is pregnant.
Pregnancy is the eternal communion between Mind and its idea in which Mind endows its offspring with its own qualities.
The only hereditary law, therefore, is the law of good, of perfection–the one and only pregnancy.
Then it is neither pregnancy nor heredity that needs to be corrected. It is the belief that there is a mind apart from the one Mind, which, operating hypnotically, appears as a false sense of pregnancy with its so-called hereditary laws.
There is no such mind, because God is the one and only Mind, and His law of heredity is perfection, harmony, and completeness.
While considering the question of heredity, it is well to remind oneself of the fact already brought out, that the most insidious belief attached to the origin of the mortal is the false claim that animal or venereal poison is his progenitor and that this poison must sooner or later accomplish its purpose and bring forth death.
In belief the whole human race is doomed because of this poisonous origin.
Therefore, it is essential to understand the truth about man’s origin, what he inherits, what forms him, and what maintains him. Otherwise what would there be with which to counteract the law that says that what begins must end. “If Life ever had a beginning, it would also have an ending.” (S&H 469.5)…”

Thank you for these continual jewels and for highlighting this awesome request from our Leader.

It brings to mind Jesus’ request:

Matt 26:40
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
