Eleven years ago last month Science and Health was brought to me. At that time I was a total wreck physically and mentally. I had not been well for over nine years. As a last resort I submitted to a surgical operation which was a complete failure, leaving me worse than before. Finally inflammation set in and the case was given up.
At this time a friend came and talked to me about Christian Science; two days later she brought me Science and Health. As soon as I began to read, the whole world seemed changed to me. I found God had made everything, and everything He had made was good, and that man was made in His image and likeness. This gave him dominion over the whole world.
I had thought that I should like to be a Christian, and had felt for some time that the God I thought about would make me whole, soul and body, if I could find Him. I often took my Bible to read but I could not understand it enough to read more than a few minutes at a time; but after reading Science and Health every page is illumined.
