I am reading the work, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” for the third time; and I am convinced of the truth of the Science of which it treats, — instructing us how to attain holiness of heart, purity of life, and the sublime ascendency of soul over body.
I was sick for a number of years with what some of
the most skilful physicians pronounced an incurable
disease. The more I tried to get help, the worse I
became, until a life of pain and helplessness seemed
unavoidable. Two years ago I heard of “Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,” began reading it
and trying to live up to its teachings. At first, my
beliefs were so strong I made but little progress; but
gradually my disease gave way, and finally disappeared, and
to-day I am a well woman. I cannot express the gratitude
I feel for what the light shining through the teachings
of that book did for me.
I have been reading “Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures,” and feasting — like a starving,
shipwrecked mariner, on the food that was to sustain him
— on truths which ages to come will appreciate,
understand, and accept. Many of the theories which at first
appear abstruse and obscure, at length become clear and
lucid. The candle of intellect requires occasional snuffing
to throw the clear light of penetration on the page.
