It is with a deep sense of gratitude for their textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, that Christian Science students sing the words of a loved hymn:
"Holy Bible! book divine!
Precious treasure! thou art mine:
Mine to tell me whence I came;
Mine to tell me what I am."
For was not this "book divine," the Bible, practically closed to them until the textbook, proving itself a veritable "key" to the Scriptures, unlocked the treasures of Truth therein, and they found comfort and healing in its pages?
