Mrs. Eddy once expressed this differentiation [between faith healing and Science] as follows: “One makes the healed know God; the other simply heals the physical.  Faith healing is not really healing, or else the patient would be one with God. So do not think because you heal, you are a Christian Scientist; as medicine heals as regards the senses, and so does error.  A Christian Scientist heals the moral as well as the physical.”  Mary Baker Eddy   (Carpenter, Gilbert, 500 Watching Points, #323)

A thought of Mrs. Eddy’s – ‘Who doth but give me of his earthly wealth, gives me that which cannot reach the heart and may but serve to stir my neighbor’s envy; while he who gives me just a simple thought of Life, or Truth, or Love, gives to me that which I may give again, yet have and keep and use throughout eternity.’   Mary Baker Eddy   (Oakes, Richard, Course In Divinity and General Collectanea, p.285)

THE SECOND DEATH

Revelation 20 – 11

         Verse 14. This uncovering and destruction of the error is the “second death,” which they who have part in the “first resur­rection” of the scientific statement of being have no fear, for all outside that statement “is cast into the lake of fire,” “where the beast and the false prophet are.” Blessed are they who have part in the first resurrection — who have the key to the bottomless pit, and who successfully resist Satan when he is loosed (loosened) again.  Mary Baker Eddy  (Carpenter, Gilbert, Essays On Christian Science, p.70)
