ADDRESS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY AT PLEASANT VIEW,
CONCORD, N. H., BEFORE 2,500 MEMBERS OF THE MOTHER CHURCH, 1897 - 3
Christian Science classifies
thought thus: Right thoughts are reality and power; wrong thoughts are
unreality and powerless, possessing the nature of dreams. Good thoughts are
potent; evil thoughts are impotent, and they should appear thus. Continuing
this category, we learn that sick thoughts are unreality and weakness; while
healthy thoughts are reality and strength. My proof of these novel propositions
is demonstration, whereby any man can satisfy himself of their verity.
Christian
Science is not only the acme of Science but the crown of Christianity. It is
universal. It appeals to man as man; to
the whole and not to a portion; to man physically, as well as spiritually, and
to all mankind.
(Eddy,
Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, p,252:8-21)

ADDRESS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY AT PLEASANT VIEW,
CONCORD, N. H., BEFORE 2,500 MEMBERS OF THE MOTHER CHURCH, 1897 - 2
Think of this inheritance!
Heaven right here, where angels are as men, clothed more lightly, and men as
angels who, burdened for an hour, spring into liberty, and the good they would
do, that they do, and the evil they would not do, that they do not.
From the falling leaves of old-time faiths
men learn a parable of the period, that all error, physical, moral, or
religious, will fall before Truth demonstrated, even as dry leaves fall to
enrich the soil for fruitage.
Sin,
sickness, and disease flee before the evangel of Truth as the mountain mists
before the sun. Truth is the tonic for the sick, and this medicine of Mind is
not necessarily infinitesimal but infinite. Herein the mental medicine of
divine metaphysics and the medical systems of allopathy and homoeopathy differ.
Mental medicine gains no potency by attenuation, and its largest dose is never
dangerous, but the more the better in every case. (Eddy,
Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, p,251:19-7)

ADDRESS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
AT PLEASANT VIEW, CONCORD, N. H., BEFORE 2,500 MEMBERS OF THE MOTHER CHURCH,
1897 - 1 My beloved brethren, who have come all the
way from the Pacific to the Atlantic shore, from the Palmetto to the Pine Tree
State, I greet you; my hand may not touch yours to-day, but my heart will with
tenderness untalkable.
His Honor, Mayor Woodworth, has welcomed
you to Concord most graciously, voicing the friendship of this city and of my
native State - loyal to the heart's core to religion, home, friends, and
country.
To-day we
commemorate not only our nation's civil and religious freedom, but a greater
even, the liberty of the sons of God, the inalienable rights and radiant
reality of Christianity, whereof our Master said: "The works that I do
shall he do;" and, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation"
(with knowledge obtained from the senses), but "the kingdom of God is
within you," - within the present possibilities of mankind. (Eddy,
Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, p,251:1-19)

Extempore Remarks - 2 But what of ourselves, and
our times and obligations? Are we duly
aware of our own great opportunities and responsibilities? Are we prepared to
meet and improve them, to act up to the acme of divine energy wherewith we are
armored?
Never was there a more solemn and
imperious call than God makes to us all, right here, for fervent devotion and
an absolute consecration to the greatest and holiest of all causes. The hour is
come. The great battle of Armageddon is upon us. The powers of evil are leagued
together in secret conspiracy against the Lord and against His Christ, as
expressed and operative in Christian Science. Large numbers, in desperate
malice, are engaged day and night in organizing action against us. Their
feeling and purpose are deadly, and they have sworn enmity against the lives of
our standard-bearers.
What will
you do about it? Will you be equally in earnest for the truth? Will you doff
your lavender-kid zeal, and become real and consecrated warriors? Will you give
yourselves wholly and irrevocably to the great work of establishing the truth,
the gospel, and the Science which are necessary to the salvation of the world
from error, sin, disease, and death? Answer at once and practically, and answer
aright! (Eddy,
Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, 176:25-20)

Extempore Remarks - 1
The great theme so deeply and solemnly
expounded by the preacher, has been exemplified in all ages, but chiefly in the
great crises of nations or of the human race. It is then that supreme devotion to Principle
has especially been called for and manifested. It is then that we learn a
little more of the nothingness of evil, and more of the divine energies of
good, and strive valiantly for the liberty of the sons of God.
The day we
celebrate reminds us of the heroes and heroines who counted not their own lives
dear to them, when they sought the New England shores, not as the flying nor as
conquerors, but, steadfast in faith and love, to build upon the rock of Christ,
the true idea of God — the supremacy of Spirit and the nothingness of
matter. When first the Pilgrims planted
their feet on Plymouth Rock, frozen ritual and creed should forever have melted
away in the fire of love which came down from heaven. The Pilgrims came to establish a nation in
true freedom, in the rights of conscience.
(Eddy, Mary Baker,
Miscellaneous Writings, 176:4-24)

ETERNAL IDENTITY - 1
To distinguish between the mind of Soul and the
so-called mind of body, we must remember one is idea, and the other belief,
alias the counterfeit and claimant of mind, even as error claims Truth. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., 65)

With our Master, life was not merely a sense of existence, but an accompanying sense of power that subdued matter and brought to light immortality, insomuch that the people "were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Life, as defined by Jesus, had no beginning; it was not the result of organization, or infused into matter; it was Spirit. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Retrospection and Introspection, p.58:7-14)

Malicious animal magnetism cannot work through materia medica to hinder my work in Christian Science.
The mesmerism of the patient's own thought regarding materia medica has no reality.

A newspaperman asked Mrs. Eddy to define a Christian Science treatment. After pausing she said, "A Christian Science treatment is the absolute acknowledgement of present perfection." (The Individual Christian Scientist, Vol. 32, No 4, p.11)
