Reasons Why

I want to give a few reasons why I am a Christian Scientist. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, is indeed rightly named. It is Scientific and it is a Key to the Scriptures. It has enabled me to overcome every form of sickness that has come to me since I have been studying it in connection with the Bible.

But that is nothing compared with the spiritual uplifting it gives one who honestly and earnestly strives to know the Truth. Through this understanding hate, envy, malice, anger, and covetousness disappear, and love takes their place. We are all God's children, one grand brotherhood, who, with the understanding gained from Science and Health will work for each other, not against each other. True happiness consists only in doing unto others as you would be done by. I have demonstrated the truths of Christian Science, as many of my friends could testify who have known me in the last year, and the years before I took up this study.

No one is capable of judging Christian Science unless he has so studied it that he is able to demonstrate it. Simply reading the book to criticise or to form an opinion is not demonstrating its rules. If people will take the trouble to investigate they will find that true Christian Scientists the world over are showing their faith by their works. "And the prayer of faith [understanding] shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins they shall be forgiven him."
