Celebrating 125 years of exploring practical spirituality

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

From the December 2000 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Mary Baker Eddy responded in a letter to her, "I hope you are introducing the book [Science and Health] to all you meet—that Book is doing more good than aught else can do."
