Matthew 16 :Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
One definition of leaven from Webster's 1828 is: Any thing which makes a general change in the mass. It generally means something which corrupts or depraves that with which it is mixed.
This morning nothing seemed more comparable to that leaven than the leaven of the fraud of materia medica and the pharmaceutics that continue to strip man of his higher intelligence and his reliance on GOD.
The Richard Oakes’ book, “Mary Baker Eddy’s Six Days of Revelation,” p 321 Mrs Eddy warned that the time might come when medical thought might be so organized that it would make the practice of Christian Science almost impossible.”
“The remedy given was not the counter power of Christian Science churches, but:” ‘When (that) time comes I want my students to take every means possible to make Science and Health available to the whole world.’
If I take the Truth and sincerely live it, someone might ask what I read (as I have been asked before) so that I can point them to Science and Health with confidence that if whomever is sincere they too will be blessed with this freeing Truth!!

In our watches we recently took up that which would suffocate the voice of Truth. I would argue the fraud of the Boston Organization as more deadly than the medical. The teaching and lectures of Christian Science are suffocating far more effectively than the medical. Why? Because they, in the name of Mrs. Eddy's revelation, teach the grave clothes of its letter as the standard of healing, teach people to be the most susceptible to "the serpent," remove people from Christianity, rather than draw them closer to it.
At least the medical is what it is.

"I want my students to take every means possible to make Science and Health available to the whole world." I think it is quite wonderful Andrew heard this calling and has made Science and Health as well as Prose Works available to the whole world on audio and now is in the process of recording the First Edition! It is our sacred honor and duty to daily support its outreach with our prayers. What more important work can we be doing?

You are right Andrew, and in this Church whatever is necessary is being done and shared so that we can all do our part in whichever way we are directed to do so. Thank God for what is going on here!
