Section 1

The Bible
Proverbs 4:23, 26, 27 (to : )
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy
487:3–6
Life is deathless. Life is the origin and ultimate of man, never attainable through death, but gained by walking in the pathway of Truth both before and after that which is called death.

Sep-LaborDay114
Section 2

Genesis 17:1 I am
1 I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

324:4, 13–15 The
The purification of sense and self is a proof of progress. “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
The way is straight and narrow, which leads to the understanding that God is the only Life.

Sep-LaborDay114
Section 3

Psalms 31:1, 5, 8 (to : ), 15 (to : )
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
15 My times are in thy hand:

569:3
Every mortal at some period, here or hereafter, must grapple with and overcome the mortal belief in a power opposed to God.

Sep-LaborDay114
Section 4

Psalms 118:14, 17
14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

427:29
The dream of death must be mastered by Mind here or hereafter. Thought will waken from its own material declaration, “I am dead,” to catch this trumpet-word of Truth, “There is no death, no inaction, diseased action, overaction, nor reaction.”

Sep-LaborDay114
Section 5

John 8:1, 2, 12 I am
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

203:24–25 (to 1st . ), 31–1
Death is not a stepping-stone to Life, immortality, and bliss.
God, divine good, does not kill a man in order to give him eternal Life, for God alone is man’s life. God is at once the centre and circumference of being.

Sep-LaborDay114
Section 6

I John 5:20
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

510:9
Truth and Love enlighten the understanding, in whose “light shall we see light;” and this illumination is reflected spiritually by all who walk in the light and turn away from a false material sense.
