"CAME TO SCOFF, STAYED TO PRAY"
[The following expression of gratitude to Mrs. Eddy from one who says of himself, "I, who came to scoff, stayed to pray," is most interesting as proving that the only right concept of Christian Science is to be obtained by the study of its text-book. If all who express themselves in public in regard to this Science would first inform themselves as to its teachings, as did Mr. van Antwerp, many more who come to scoff would stay to pray, and they would receive the same benefit which has accrued to him.—Editor.]
City of Mexico, Oct. 29, 1906.
My Very Dear Mrs. Eddy:—No one will ever know—indeed it is hard for me to realize myself—how great a debt of gratitude I owe to you for the wonderful discovery you have given the world. In Science and Health I have found the true "Key to the Scriptures," which until recently have been as a sealed book to me.
