Science reveals the possibility of achieving all good, and sets mortals at work to discover what God has already done; but distrust of one’s ability to gain the goodness desired and to bring out better and higher results, often hampers the trial of one’s wings and ensures failure at the outset.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 260:13)

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
(Job 22:29, 30)

One, the light of God’s own presence,
O’er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
One, the object of our journey,
One, the faith which never tires,
One, the earnest looking forward,
One, the hope our God inspires;
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 351:2)

We lift our hearts in praise, / O God of Life, to Thee, / And would reflect in all our ways / Thy purity. / Thy thoughts our lives enfold, / And free us from all fear; / All strife is stilled, all grief consoled, / For Thou art here.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 371:1)

The prophet of to-day beholds in the mental horizon the signs of these times, the reappearance of the Christianity which heals the sick and destroys error, and no other sign shall be given.
