One
day a Christian Scientist who had recently passed through a somewhat trying experience was leaving the home of a practitioner just as another student of Christian Science was entering it.
A recent critic says that I will be surprised to hear that my previous letter, which you published, has done more to convince him that Christian Science has less in common with the Bible than anything he has yet read.

In the sixteen years that I have been in Christian Science I have neglected to speak of my blessings through the Sentinel, but I now feel that I should tell of my manifold benefits and not hide my light under a bushel.
