It has seemed to me, many times, that a word to new beginners—especially those studying alone, and perhaps groping blindly in the dark—might not come amiss.
I think it is nearly always the case, that those who take up Christian Science as a study, are driven to do so from some physical difficulty.
Occasionally one who has not found an answer to his spiritual longings and desires, goes to Science and Health for light, by which to find a higher and more satisfying understanding of God, and His Divine Love; but bodily ailments oftener send men to Christian Science,—as, in their desperation, they turn from Materia Medica, in all its several branches, and, like tired children, turn to the bosom of Love.
