A GOOD COMPANION

MARTIN BROONES

Students of Christian Science companion daily with the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by our inspired Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. They find that this daily companioning uplifts their thought, leads them to a progressive understanding of God and His expression, spiritual, incorporeal man, and heals them of sickness, sin, poverty, frustration, and hate, in fact, of all the evils known to human existence.

And our Leader has given us a book as a companion to the Bible and Science and Health, an associate, an important ally. This book is the Manual of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. Many Christian Scientists can gratefully testify to the healing efficacy of this Manual, and the writer on more than one occasion has found relief from illness by the study of its inspired pages.

The Manual does not take the place of the Bible and Science and Health, but it is a good companion, containing Rules and By-Laws essential to the demonstration of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy wrote to the General Association of Teachers in 1903 that adhering to the teachings of the Bible, Science and Health, and our Church Manual results in obedience to the law and gospel (see The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, pp. 251, 252).
