UP OF AUCTION:

The Science Of Mind By the Great ERNEST HOLMES (1887-1960), founder of the Religious Science Movement. Ernest Holmes founded the international RELIGIOUS SCIENCE movement, wrote " The Science Of Mind and numerous other books on metaphysics, and originated the international periodical SCIENCE OF MIND magazine, which has been in continuous publication since 1927.  Holmes' Science of Mint teaching, recognized today as one of the leading viewpoints in modern metaphysics, is a spiritual philosophy that has brought to people around the world a working cosmology-a sense of their relationship to God and their place in the Universe-and a positive supportive approach to daily living.

     Earnest Holmes was born in 1887 on a small Maine farm, the youngest of nine sons.  As a teenager, he attended Bethel Preparatory School, but he spent most of his time out-of-doors, asking himself  "who is God? Why an I here?"  He mentally tangled with all the local preachers and doubted the answers he got in church.  At the age of 18 he left school and formal education and set out on his lifelong course of independent thinking.  He went to Boston, worked in a grocery store, and pursued his studies relentlessly.  A year later, he discovered the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson.  "Reading Emerson is like drinking water to me,"  he said later.  His metaphysical studies intensified his quest for truth leading him to literature, art, science, philosophy, and religion, and in particular the Christian Science teaching of MARY BAKER EDDY.

     After Ernest Holmes became acquainted with the writings of Emerson and Mary Baker Eddy, he soon was exploring the writings of CHRISTIAN D. LARSON. RALPH WALDO TRINE, HORATIO DRESSER AND PHINEAS QUIMBY.  Holmes was particularly impressed with the New Thought writings of Larson and eventually abandoned athe Christian Science textbook for Larson's Work. 

These books,  I have read all seeking this truth and, these new Thoughts writers knew what they were talking about.  Jesus said,  and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
