Mrs. Dorothy Hoskyn, Committee on Publication for the South Island of New Zealand,
In answer to your correspondent, I would say that all his questions, with one exception, are aswered clearly and completely in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scritprues" by Mary Baker Eddy, when the sentences he quotes are read with their proper context.
Prior
to the discovery of Christian Science, in the year 1866, most mortals believed that sickness and disease were inevitable, and in some cases God-sent.
WHEN
one seeker for a more satisfying religious teaching attended a Christian Science service for the first time, he was startled by the revolutionary declaration of "the scientific statement of being," which begins, "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter".
Christian Science services have been conducted each Sunday and testimony meetings have been held once a month in the following institutions: Auburn, Clinton, Great Meadow, Sing Sing, State Prison for Women, and Elmira Reformatory.
