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.
Soon after, it came about that I was separated from every one who had ever
heard of Christian Science; and, as I lived in the country, no one came to
visit me for about eight months. At first, I thought the Lord had wrought
a great evil. I had no one to talk to, but would take my Science and
Health every morning, before going about my work, and read; yet mortal
mind would say, “You can do no good, with no one to talk with.” At last,
one morning after listening to the serpent’s voice, I looked out at the
little wild flowers as they waved to and fro; they seemed to be a living
voice, and this is what they said: “On earth peace, good will toward men.”
There was also a mocking-bird that would sit on the house and sing. For
the first time, I realized that divine Love was the only friend I needed.
Soon after, I sent the _Journal_ to my nearest neighbor, by her little son
who came to play with my children. Afterward she told me that when she
began to read it she said to the family, “God has sent this book to me.”
Calling to see her one evening, I found her suffering from heart disease.
I began talking to her about Christian Science, and in less than an hour
she declared herself healed. She is to-day a happy woman. I would say to
all suffering ones, that if you will buy a copy of this wonderful book,
“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by the Rev. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, and study it, and practise its teachings, you will find it a pearl
of great price.

On my arrival in New York, last July, my brother spoke to me of “Science
and Health with Key to the Scriptures;” and, coming in contact with a
number of Scientists, all wishing me to procure the book, I did so. I read
it through in the same manner in which I would read any other book, to
find out the contents.
Before I got to the end, having partly understood its meaning, I began to
demonstrate over old physical troubles, and they disappeared. A belt that
I had worn for over twelve years, I took off, and threw overboard (being a
seafaring man).
Up to that time I had been a constant smoker, and chewed tobacco; but I
gradually lost all pleasure in it, and now look upon it with disgust.
