What a wonderful field for enlightenment and profit lies open to those who seek after Truth. Alas, that the feet of so few enter it!
Rev. M. B. G. Eddy: — Will you kindly spare me a few
moments for the perusal of these lines from a stranger, —
one who feels under a debt of gratitude to you, — for,
through the divine Science brought to light by you, I have
been “made whole.” I have been cured of a malignant
cancer since I began to study Christian Science, and have
demonstrated the truth of it in a number of cases, I have
only studied your good books, having been unable to take
the lectures for want of means. I dare not think of
these, for there is no prospect that I shall be in a position
to take the course at all. I do not allow myself to
complain, but cheerfully take up my books and study, and
feel thankful for this light.
M. E. W., Cañon City, Col.
Dear Madam: — May I thank you for your book,
“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” and
say how much I owe to it — almost my very life — at a
most critical time. . . .
If it were not for the heat of your American summers (I had nine attacks of dysentery in the last one), and the expense, I should dearly like to learn from you personally; but I must forego this, — at any rate, for the present. If you would write me what the cost would be for a course on divine metaphysics, I would try to manage it later on.
