Principle

BY CHARLES E. ORCUTT.

I appreciate so much the help received from the Sentinel, that I desire to express my gratitude, not only to that paper, but also to Christian Science for the blessings which have come to me through the study of the Truth as revealed in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

It is four years since this book was placed in my hands. At first my comprehension of its passages was obscure, but after a few weeks of reading, I experienced an instantaneous healing of a severe physical trouble of long standing. Before turning to Christian Science, I had not given the attention and time to reading the Bible that all men should give, not only for their own spiritual enlightenment, but also for the good influence that that enlightenment in themselves would have upon all with whom they associate; but reading Science and Health impelled me to read the Bible, and by studying the Bible in the light of Christian Science, I find the Truth that makes me free from sin, disease, and sorrow.

The teachings of Christian Science have placed the standard of morality on a much higher plane in my consciousness. The spiritual uplifting is greater than all else. I now see that in the degree in which I live in harmony with Truth that I not only gain that peace of mind which brings health and happiness, but also those near and dear to me are benefited by the love which is reflected by this harmonious state of consciousness.
