A Wonderful Key

Denver Republican

Through Christian Science, the sick and dying are healed; the slaves of sin and evil appetites, set free; the insane restored to reason; the otherwise incurably blind, deaf, and crippled, made whole; and this Science has been revealed to mankind in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker G. Eddy.

These are facts, and yet, even those who have been healed in Christian Science sometimes complain of the distinction that is given Mrs. Eddy and her book in the church services and in the practice. The writer was one of these unreasonable persons.

Let us consider a parallel case. A man has been lying in a damp, deep dungeon—manacled hand and foot—ever since he can remember. He has been given keys from time to time, none of which would turn the bolts of his dungeon door or loosen the iron clasp of his fetters. His condition has excited the sympathy of men of all nations, and key of the most cunning design have been sent to him. Some of them are very beautiful and almost fit, but an unseen flaw in the design makes them as useless as the key of crudest design which does not come near fitting the lock.
