The possession of even a superficial understanding of Christian Science and the life of its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, would prevent the belief or conclusion that this religion is in any wise analogous to mesmerism, Freudism, magnetism, or mental suggestion.
Frequently
students of Christian Science are asked why they spend so much time reading the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
On
page 379 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy tells of an experiment which some students performed upon a criminal in an effort to test the power of imagination in its effect upon the body.
Very
early in his study, as a rule, the advancing student of Christian Science finds divine Love meeting some need; and for a time he may think of this Science as being useful especially for meeting that kind of need.
With a heart full of gratitude, I am writing this, hoping others may seek the same wonderful blessing that I have received from a week's stay at the Pacific Coast Sanatorium of Christian Science Benevolent Association at San Francisco, California.
