THE Christian Science Reading Room, established by Mrs. Eddy through divine inspiration, is an essential part of the Christian Science movement. Its primary purpose is to impart the true knowledge of God and bring the practical understanding of the Christ-healing to all men.
Under the marginal heading "Receptive hearts" in Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy says (p. 570): "Millions of unprejudiced minds—simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert—are waiting and watching for rest and drink. Give them a cup of cold water in Christ's name, and never fear the consequences." Within the precincts of the Reading Room, this cup is offered to these seekers of Christ, Truth, which satisfies the spiritually hungry thought, brings comfort to the sorrowing heart, and heals the sinning and the sick.
Let one who is yearning for the things of Spirit or for physical healing go to a Christian Science Reading Room and study Science and Health. As he does this he will find that every truth accepted and understood is a silent irresistible force against all that is unlike good. As the light of Truth appears in the dark places of thought, it destroys error and restores health and harmony.
