A Christian Science Reading Room might be likened to Jacob's well of Biblical times which was located in Samaria at the fork of two roads. Here people often stopped for water as Jesus once did when he was weary from his journey.
While Jesus sat on the well, a woman from the nearby city of Sychar came to draw water. When he spoke to her of living water which he could give, the woman thought that Jesus meant the water from the well. She told him that he had nothing with which to draw the water and that the well was deep. But as her thought became more receptive to the Christ, Truth, she said (John 4:15), "Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."
In the conversation that followed, Jesus declared God to be "a Spirit," which men must worship "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). John goes on to tell us of this incident, "The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ."
