With God-bestowed spiritual vision Mary Baker Eddy turned to the Bible as her only guide to the Science of Life. So today the world has not only the Bible, but also her great work, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," a work founded on her discernment of the spiritual import of the Book of Books. These two infallible textbooks, in perfect agreement, point the way to the healing of every ill to which mortals are heir.
Christian Scientists can testify that many are the healings they have experienced from study and from the demonstration of the truths found in these two blessed books. The Bible Lessons, outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly, when studied faithfully never fail to bring some measure of healing. One student found a verse in Proverbs especially helpful. It reads (29:18), "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Pondering this verse, she concluded: Then where there is vision and the keeping of the law, the people live happily.
But what, reasoned the student, is the law? It is more than the moral codes of Moses and the prophets; it is the law of the spirit of Life and Love, revealed and proved by Christ Jesus, the law which, as the Apostle Paul declares, "hath made [us] free from the law of sin and death" (Rom. 8:2). Today Christian Scientists know this law as the Comforter, Christian Science.
