Reading Science and Health

I read in Collectanea the other day, where Mrs. Eddy says that to read the textbook is to hear the voice of your Father. Such a beautiful statement, and it is true. As we read Science and Health, we are reading the truth about ourselves and about our world.

Years ago my mother lived in an old Victorian house in Plainfield, and in the attic she found a copy of Science and Health. She had never seen it before. She had heard a little about Christian Science in the small town she lived in in South Carolina. She had been diagnosed with cancer by a doctor, and felt a tremendous need for the Truth. She read the book with an open heart, and knew she had found the truth. She felt a change in her body, and when she went back to the doctor, they found no cancer.

Christian Science heals. The textbook explains the laws and rules of the universe. If you read it with an open heart, you will find something tremendously wonderful. Perhaps it is the greatest secret in the world, because so few seem to know about it. But we will keep broadcasting and continuing to heal, because it is the truth. It answers any question you could ever have about the meaning of life.
