Benjamin F. Halpern

In the more than twenty years that I have been studying Christian Science, I have had many healings. Now I want to acknowledge my thanks to Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, for giving to the world "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." This textbook of Christian Science is so simple that it can be understood readily and its teachings applied to heal any situation, physical, financial, moral, or mental.

Some time ago the entire left side of my body became paralyzed. I asked my wife: "What is this? Why should this happen to me?" Her answer was: "Don't waste time asking the why of error. Just declare the truth and work to know more of God and of your relationship to Him." I realized then that I must turn to the source of all good, which is God.

While we stayed at the Sanatorium of the Christian Science Benevolent Association in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, there were many days when I studied the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings constantly, taking time out only for sleep and nourishment. The nurses at the Sanatorium were splendid. They not only cared for my physical needs, but often sat at my bedside and read to me with such understanding that the citations seemed to have been written just for me. When I left the Sanatorium I was able to resume my work and soon was entirely free.
