Some months ago you asked me to write concerning the work of Christian Science as observed by me while travelling through Europe.
The outside work, in which I have had the privilege of being engaged, has been in conversation upon Christian Science, and in distributing Christian Science tracts to those willing to receive them. Many had never heard of Christian Science; but of those who have, I have met none who had correct views of it. They seem to have gained false views derived from representations of Christian Science, falsely so-called. Those who were willing to receive the Truth from Science and Health became interested; and some said they intended to supply themselves with the Textbook upon their return to the United States. I could many times have given my own away very usefully—once to a lady from New Zealand, whom I interested in the subject by reading from Science and Health and commenting upon the thoughts we read—but, I did not know how I could supply the deficiency for my own use, and I could not be without it, Since that time, through the kindness of a Scientist in England, I learned that C. S. literature could be obtained in London. Three copies of Science and Health have been sent for.
Two ladies, believing that they had been instructed in Christian Science, yet without studying from or possessing a copy of the Text-book, were convinced that what they needed was Science and Health as a teacher. They accordingly embraced the opportunity to procure one offered by Miss D—.The result of the reading of Science and Health was so marked in the case of one of these ladies, it was received as a revelation of Truth. She not being "disobedient to the heavenly vision," the book was immediately received as teacher, and is now the constant companion of her walks.
