Mary Baker Eddy, the beloved Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, refers to God as the "adorable One" (Science and Health, p. 16). She also states as a proposition abundantly proved in her own experience "that an acknowledgment of the perfection of the infinite Unseen confers a power nothing else can" (Unity of Good, p. 7). As one proceeds in his study of this divine Science, such truths are seen and assimilated for the pure gold that they are. With this perception and, more important, the conscious application of these tremendous truths in daily affairs, one's whole sense of being is aroused to a deep gratitude for God's love, guidance, and provision.
I have been increasingly grateful that at a time when I needed help in solving a problem of place, I was able to perceive the largess of God and His power, and to follow this perception into the narrow way of which Jesus spoke so authoritatively, into Christian Science. My mental horizons expanded immeasurably as I learned more of the nature of God and man. While I know I have but touched the hem of the seamless garment of Truth, yet this touch has opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities before us—to the boundless resources of harmony, peace, activity, and progress which God has for us, and which will pour into our experience the instant our consciousness is spiritualized sufficiently to receive the blessings.
Much good has come to me through Science since the day, some fifteen years ago, that I determined to read Science and Health from cover to cover, in order to discover just what its pages contained. Previous to my opening this textbook, I had seen the transfer of my employment from one city to another, heretofore mentioned, worked out so smoothly and harmoniously with the help of a Christian Science practitioner in a distant city that I felt this power must be investigated. During my first reading of the book I had a complete healing of what is termed athlete's foot. It was not a sudden healing, but by the time the reading of the book was completed, there was not a trace of the trouble.
