Ira C. Hubbell

I remember very well just how I felt when I laid down my first five dollar bill for a pocket edition of Science and Health. I was in the frame of mind at that time wherein I measured everything from a material basis. It was not long after I purchased the first copy before I bought second and third copies, making a total investment at that period of fifteen dollars in cash. As a result of my first investment my wife was healed of consumption and my eyes were healed of astigmatism.

A lady who came to me something over two years ago was troubled with weak eyes and was obliged to wear glasses. This lady wrote a great many Christian Science letters for me, and asked that she might retain carbon copies of these letters for her personal benefit, and through this beautiful thought her eyes were healed several months ago, and I have her permission to mention this fact to you.

I have probably invested, directly and indirectly, in various copies of Science and Health and other Christian Science literature something over one hundred dollars and if every hundred dollars that I have spent in my life time had been productive of the same amount of genuine good that has come out of this particular investment, I think, without exception, that I would be the happiest man on this earth Just think, my dear boy, if all the money that I have put in my life time into wine, whiskey and cigars had been invested in this class of literature, can you or I measure the result?
