I take this opportunity to express, in a measure, my gratitude for "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I commenced the study of this book about four years ago. At first I read it from beginning to end and was convinced that if it were the truth it was the whole Truth, for I could see through it all a Principle. I am a professional nurse, and was then in my work of caring for the sick, and suffering many things myself. Wherever I went I carried at least two drugs: a lotion for my hands and face and sick headache powders.
After reading Science and Health through I used no more of the lotion. My lips were always cracked during cold weather. At that time there was across my upper lip a deep crack which I had been trying to heal with the aforesaid lotion. In a short time afterward my lip was entirely healed and no treatment given, for I did not know how to give a treatment. I have never had a return of the trouble. In a short time after reading Science and Health I was taken very ill and applied for Christian Science treatment and was healed. I felt convinced then that I could never use drugs again for myself. Then I commenced the study of the Bible and Science and Health, and have continued it ever since. One by one troubles have been overcome. For this I am very grateful, for I am in much better health. But most of all there is the Comforter which leadeth into all Truth. Every day I have need to rejoice and be glad for the little understanding I have of Truth and Love.
How welcome and instructive are our periodicals. For and the Quarterly I am very grateful. I thank God, that through our Leader I am enabled to have these many rich blessings. I cannot begin to tell all the benefits received from Christian Science, but I try to let my life bear witness.
