In Defense of Mary Baker Eddy and The Remnant of Her Seed: A Compilation of His Articles - Paperback

by Paul R. Smillie (Author)

Daniel's prophetic dates, 1866 and 1875, announced the Second Advent. Not until the fruitage of those years became evident was it possible to see the magnitude of its meaning for all mankind. Mary Baker Eddy's revelation of Christian Science in 1866 and her textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, the "little book," published in 1875, aggravated the war against the Woman and her remnant - all of which is uncovered and documented in this vital book.

Mr. Smillie's thorough defense of this God-sent woman details the importance of her life and its heavenly message. Micah foresaw two messengers. Zechariah asked, "what be these two olive branches which empty the golden oil out of themselves? These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth." St. John records two witnesses or Prophets. Apparently these two would teach the same message. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my [Jesus'] name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

This compilation of Paul R. Smillie's articles, written over 2 decades, is a must-have for any serious Christian Scientist. He explains in depth why it is important to recognize Mary Baker Eddy's place in prophecy, using her own words and many Biblical passages, and the consequences of little or no recognition. Articles included are:

Loving Our Leader

The Father, the Prodigal, and the Citizen

Our Leader's Demonstration of Generic Man

Does God Know Mary Baker Eddy and Christ Jesus?

Christian Scientists and the Child Court Cases

Gratitude or Indifference - Love or Deification?
