The inspired pages of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy, frequently bring instantaneous enlightenment to the earnest seeker for Truth.
A student
of Christian Science once observed that the leaves of a cherished plant which stood before a window in her room were turned away from the semidarkness within towards the light which streamed through the half-open window.
What
a new and beautiful meaning the word "employment" has for us when viewed in the light of the teachings of Christian Science! No longer does it imply work which may be irksome, endurable, or pleasantly congenial, a necessity for those who have little or no other means of meeting their daily needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter.
God
bless the simple hearts who day by dayPerform their tasks with cheerfulness, whose playIs glad and just;Who, in the homely virtues of an honest life,Living the Golden Rule, avoiding strife,Show forth their trustIn Him who unto righteousnessAssigneth sure reward.

When Christian Science first came to me I had been in bed for many weeks under the doctor's care and was getting no better, but growing weaker and more discouraged.
Christian Science has brought countless blessings to me, and I am more grateful each day that I was led to its study, and that I am able to prove that inharmony of any kind does not belong to God's child.
