For many years before reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"...

W. H. Lewis

For many years before reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I had not attended any church or accepted any creed, or engaged in any church work, though, strange to say, I did vaguely believe in God. I was a victim of the whisky habit with its attendant vices, and although I had some desire to quit it, will power did not enable me to let it alone. The desire for liquor was overcome quickly and easily through Christian Science, and although I am not as yet a member of the church, for the past two and one half years, since reading Science and Health, I have been a regular attendant of the Sunday services and of the Wednesday evening meetings. Before reading this book I was continually taking some kind of medicine, but since reading that "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds" (Science and Health, p. 1), it has been my earnest endeavor to put this into continuous practice.

I can most gratefully say that in so far as I have gained the understanding to seek "first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness" I have found each need has been supplied, sometimes even before I asked, and many minor ailments have been healed. Truly all good is possible to God, and the "wrath of man" is made to praise Him. I am indeed grateful to God for a knowledge of His Christ, Truth, as explained through Science and Health.
