In a letter dated January 15, 1895, when she was establishing the present form of the weekly Christian Science testimony meetings, Mary Baker Eddy wrote: "Make broader your bounds for blessing the people .... Tell what this Science does for yourself and will do for others." The testimonies given at these meetings have been a great blessing to me. The utilization of ideas expressed in two specific testimonies brought fruit in an experience which I had concerning the disposal of some property. The ideas given turned my thought to a more intensive study of our textbook. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

I knew there was no better way to realize good in consciousness than prayerfully to read the textbook. This I did. While reading the book. I held in thought the subject of each chapter, and was greatly inspired and impressed, not only by our Leader's unfoldment of the main topic, but also by the arrangement of the chapters in the book. I completed the reading of Science and Health in one week, during which time two pieces of property were sold. It was not only the satisfactory sale of the properties, but also the incidents of justice, harmony, joy, and blessing resulting to others through these transactions which gave cause for gratitude. The gratitude reverted to our beloved Leader for her great gift of scientific truths which can govern our daily experiences.

In revealing these scientific truths, Mrs. Eddy has wrought untold blessings for humanity. Time will reveal the benefits which her great work as the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science has effected for the human race. Her achievement in lifting thought to spiritual, scientific ideas has blessed many. I was uplifted in thought through discerning the truth of her metaphysical statements on page 266 of the textbook: "Man is deathless, spiritual. He is above sin or frailty. He does not cross the barriers of time into the vast forever of Life, but he coexists with God and the universe." In this elevated state of consciousness. I gained a clearer realization than ever before of man's coexistence with God, and the healing of the sense of separation from a loved one was completed.
