_My Dear Teacher:_—Yours without date is at hand. Could you know out of
what depths of material _débris_ the first reading of the first volume of
Science and Health, six years ago last December, lifted me, you would
believe it had always been “all I could ask.” It was _only_ words from the
pen of _uninspired_ writers that gave me pain. As the revelation of the
All-good appeared to me, all other books, all forms of religion, all
methods of healing, to my sense became void. Chronic beliefs of disease of
twenty years’ standing, dimness of sight from the belief of age, all
disappeared _instantly_; indeed, material life seemed a blank. The _why?_
I could not explain, but this I did know, in this realm of the real I
found joy, peace, rest, love to all, unbounded, unspeakable. Human
language had lost its power of expression, for no words came to me; and in
all this six years of bliss I still have found no words to tell my
new-found life in God. The most chronic forms of disease have sometimes
been healed instantly and without argument. With great love and
gratitude.—M. H. P.

I take great comfort in reading “Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,” and will cling firmly to the light I have, knowing that more
will be given me. While in Salt Lake City, I met at the hotel a lady who
had been an invalid all her life. I talked with her about Christian
Science, and loaned her Science and Health, together with the _Journals_ I
had with me. She had become very much discouraged, having lost all faith
in doctors and medicine, and did not know where to turn next. She became
very much absorbed in the book, feeling she had found salvation. She at
once laid aside the glasses she was wearing, and now reads readily without
them. She and her husband have accepted this truth beautifully.—Mrs. G. A.

On a trip through Mexico I met a woman who told me that, although she did
not believe in Christian Science, on her way from Wisconsin, her home, she
had bought a copy of Science and Health. When she reached M——, she met a
minister from the North, whom the M. D.’s had sent there because of
consumption,—they had given him two months to live. She gave him Science
and Health, and while doing so, felt it was all absurd. The minister read
it, and was healed _immediately_. Was not this a beautiful demonstration
of the power of Truth, and good evidence that Science and Health is the
word of God?
I had while in Mexico a glorious conquest over the fear of smallpox. There
were hundreds of cases in some small towns where we were. After the fear
was cast out, never a thought of it as real came to me or my husband, or
troubled us in any way. On the street I met three men who were being taken
to the pest-house with that loathsome disease.—F. W. C.
