student of Christian Science rejoices when the opportunity comes to turn to the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for a period of devout study.
Mary Baker Eddy

How
frequently are the experiences of various Bible characters seen to prefigure those of present-day humanity! And what helpful, inspiring, and directive lessons may be learned from the lives of those who, through faith in God and obedience to their highest sense of right, delivered from from evil, provided with human necessities, delivered from disaster! Naturally, he who stands pre-eminent among these and other men of all time is Christ Jesus, for his spiritual teachings, loving life, and complete work verified his Messiahship and marked him as the Exemplar or Way-shower for all mankind.
The
first need of every human being is to nourish his consciousness with the understanding of Life, Truth, and Love, for these are fundamental to man's being.

Our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in establishing the Cause of Christian Science has given to mankind the reassurance of the Christ, which in my experience has brought cheer and cause for gratitude.
