"A
MARVELOUS MESSAGE OF LOVE"
Christian
Science was brought to me about ten years ago by a friend,
who had the loving desire to help me to be released from a
trial under which I had suffered for many years. But it was
not for physical relief that I began to study: the
literature which my friend gave me, and "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which I
borrowed from the local Reading Room, convinced me at once
that a marvelous message of love had been given by God to
this age. The literature agreed so entirely with the Bible,
and seemed to herald so clearly the next necessary step in
the unfoldment of the gospel preached by Christ Jesus that I
could not have rejected their message without being false to
all I had learned of God and of Christ. I soon found that
the teaching was not only Scriptural, logical, and rational,
but demonstrably true. Palpitation and headaches, to which I
had been subject for years, ceased to trouble me; as did
also other physical discomforts.
More
and more I am filled with gratitude to God for the purity
and unselfishness of our heroic Leader, and for her loving
and faithful labor to bless humanity in spite of the
persecution and the injustice to which she was subjected.
She has thrown a clearer light than any other teacher upon
the life and work of our Master and Way-shower, and has
given us practical, scientific rules, which, in proportion
as they are understood and consistently obeyed, enable us to
follow in his footsteps and to do the works that he did, in
accordance with his command. She has shown us how we may
fulfill what "The Shorter Catechism" (so dear to our
Scottish forefathers) calls "man's chief end,"
—
to truly "glorify God
and enjoy Him for ever."
