Christ Jesus,
who through his spiritual understanding of God was enabled to feed the multitude and pay the necessary tax for himself and his disciple, said: "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.

While I was visiting in Seattle nineteen years ago, a friend strongly advised me to buy a copy of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for I was in very poor health and needed help to sustain me in making my journey to my home in Alberta, Canada, with a small baby girl and a lively three-year-old son.
