looking directly at me for some time, spoke this one sentence, and then disappeared: “Do right, and thou shalt be saved.”
I immediately tried to live according to that precept, and found relief in proportion to my understanding. I soon after learned of Christian Science. One of my brothers in Kansas, having been healed by it, persuaded me to buy “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” wherein I learned that the above precept was the key to Christian Science; that it is Christian Science to do right, and that nothing short of right living has any claim to the name.
I have been learning my way in Christian Science about one year, and have been successful in healing. I have all of your books, and am a subscriber for the Journal and Quarterly Bible Lessons. Some of the cases I have treated have yielded almost instantly. I am a stranger to you, but I have told you the truth, just as it occurred. Yours in truth,
I desire to make known the great good I have
received by reading the blessed book “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures.” Four years have now
passed since I began to read it. It has been my only
healer and teacher, as I never have had an opportunity
to go through a class; but I find that the “Spirit of truth”
will teach us all things if we will but practise well what
we know. After two years and a half of study, I thought,
as many beginners think, that I had travelled over the
worst part of this narrow path.
