A THANK OFFERING

From the August 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I Have been a teacher in day school for over six years, and am ashamed to think I never heard of Christian Science until in Nov. '94; then only heard my mother had been treated by a Scientist and received much benefit.

Dec. 22d., I went home to spend a two weeks' vacation; during the time I heard much in praise of Christian Science, greatly to my disgust, for I felt Christian Science, by not uniting with the orthodox church, led away from Christ.

My parents had a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, but I positively refused to read it, telling them "I was completely tired out, and I came home to rest not to bury myself in books." How little I knew of the sweet rest to be found among those precious pages. Yet I picked up the book often, only to criticise. I thought it all wrong to do away with the old orthodox, audible prayers, and the chapter on Prayer I did not like.
