I am not a Christian Scientist, but a reader of everything that claims to be instructive, and some years ago I read Mrs. Eddy's book called "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I do not know about the science and health, but as to the key to the Scriptures I wish to say that it is to me a key indeed. I had for many years given up Bible reading as to me not understandable, which now appears clear and profitable reading, and it appears to me that the orthodox world is in the same condition I was.

I wish to say that I have found this true. I now enjoy reading the Bible. What was to me bewildering now is clear, and I can say that I can think of Mrs. Eddy as one of the greatest benefactors to the world
