1 The promises are being fulfilled Wednesday, December 20, 2017 Acts 2:38 Repent, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Heb. 10:23 (to ;) 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; Heb. 11:2, 8, 9, For by it the elders obtained a good report By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthæ; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. II Pet. 3:9 (to 1st,) 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, Neh. 9:9, 10 (to :), 11 (to ;), 12, 13, 15 9 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea; And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 1/6

2 15 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. Jer. 31:31, 33 2nd I 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 33 I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Isa. 7:13 Hear (to ;), 14 Behold 13 Hear ye now, O house of David; 14 Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Matt. 3:1, 2, 11 1st he, IN those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matt. 4:23, And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. John 13:31 Jesus 31 Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 2/6

3 John 14:12 1st He, 16, 26 the 12 He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Matt. 5:1, 2, AND seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. SH 566: :1 As the children of Israel were guided triumphantly through the Red Sea, the dark ebbing and flowing tides 3 of human fear, as they were led through the wilderness, walking wearily through the great desert of human hopes, and anticipating the promised 6 joy, so shall the spiritual idea guide all right desires in their passage from sense to Soul, from a material sense of existence to the spiritual, up to the glory prepared for 9 them who love God. SH 107:1 107:1 In the year 1866, I discovered the Christ Science or divine laws of Life, Truth, and Love, and 3 named my discovery Christian Science. God had been graciously preparing me during many years for the reception of this final revelation of the absolute divine Principle of scientific mental 6 healing. Spiritual guidance Christian Science discovered SH 123:16 27 The term CHRISTIAN SCIENCE was introduced by the author to designate the scientific system of divine 18 healing. The revelation consists of two parts: 1. The discovery of this divine Science of Mindhealing, through a spiritual sense of the Scriptures and 21 through the teachings of the Comforter, as promised by the Master The proof, by present demonstration, that the socalled miracles of Jesus did not specially belong to a dispensation now ended, but that they illustrated an 27 ever-operative divine Principle. 3/6

4 SH 55: This Comforter I understand to be Divine Science. SH 558:10-12, To mortal sense Science seems at first obscure, abstract, and 12 dark; but a bright promise crowns its brow. It brings the baptism of the Holy 18 Ghost, whose flames of Truth were prophetically described by John the Baptist as consuming error. The new Evangel SH 162:16-25 Working out the rules of Science in practice, the author has restored health in cases of both acute and chronic disease in 18 their severest forms. Secretions have been changed, the structure has been renewed, shortened limbs have been 21 elongated, ankylosed joints have been made supple, and carious bones have been restored to healthy conditions. I have restored what is called the lost substance of lungs, and 24 healthy organizations have been established where disease was organic. SH x:15-17 By thousands of well-authenticated cases of healing, she and her students have proved the worth of her teachings. SH xi:15-21 They are the sign of Immanuel, or God with us, a divine influence ever present in human consciousness and repeating itself, coming now as was promised 18 aforetime, 21 To preach deliverance to the captives [of sense], And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised. SH 150:4 To-day the healing power of Truth is widely demonstrated as an immanent, eternal Science, instead of a 6 phenomenal exhibition. Its appearing is the coming anew of the gospel of on earth peace, good-will toward men. This coming, as was promised 9 by the Master, is for its establishment as a permanent dispensation among men; but the mission of Christian Science now, as in the time of its earlier demonstration, 12 is not primarily one of physical healing. Now, as then, signs and wonders are wrought in the metaphysical healing of physical disease; but these signs are only to demon The main purpose 4/6

SH 600: Thousands of letters could be presented in testimony of the healing efficacy of Christian Science and particularly concerning the vast number of people who have been reformed and healed through the perusal or study of this book. For the assurance and encouragement of the reader, a few of these letters are here republished from THE CHRIS TIAN SCIENCE JOURNAL and CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SENTI NEL. SH 634:15-17 (np) 635 As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy, and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what I thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, materia medica, electricity, gymnastics, cycling, and so on, and being in a hopeless state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual understanding of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, the truth shall make you free, was fulfilled, and the past six years of health and harmony have been spent in striving to hold fast that which is good. While most grateful for the physical healing, my gratitude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus mission of healing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was unbounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the price of the little book and a few weeks study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 5/6

Gal. 3:29 if ye 29 if ye be Christ s, then are ye Abraham s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
