No more back pain

Robert B. Scott

In Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, says that Christian Science teachers “shall enjoin upon [their students] habitually to study His revealed Word, the Scriptures, and ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures’ ” (p. 315). Such study spiritualizes thought and results in healing, as I experienced recently.

I had neglected such conscientious study for a few years until last year, when I decided to renew this daily pursuit, along with reading Mrs. Eddy’s Prose Works and a biography about her. At first, it was difficult to find time for my study of Christian Science, but I recognized that this was a sacred duty I must obey, and my Christian Science teacher had encouraged me to do this. 

In so doing, I was indeed gaining a stronger spiritual sense and a better understanding of my true selfhood. And I was also being purified as hidden error in my thinking came to the surface to be destroyed.
