In her subsequent Investigations OF
menal influence she learned that the
carnal will or magnetic healing was
absolutely opposed to her own ideals
of mental healing. and she turned

It was at this period of her exper-
ience that the great spiritual light
dawned upon her consciousness, and
found her waiting and prepared to re-
ceive the message. The circumstances
which brought this spiritual awaken
ing and thereby established her con-
clusions was her remarkable recov-
cry, in the year 1866. from an injury
caused by an accident. She was seek
ing to console her suffering sense by
reading passages from the Scriptures.
when she caught the depth Of its spir-
itual import and was instantly healed.
This was the vindication OF her long
search. for 1t was the Spirit that
qulckened and she knew It.
Now that Mrs. Eddy had found the
Comforter, which is the Spirit Of
truth" and which heals the sick. she
resumed her search Of the Scriptures
for a scientific explanation OF it, that
she might impart 1t to others. She
soon learned that the healing operates
according to a divine law, and she be-
gan to write out her observations.
These writings formed the basis OF
her more complete work known as
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" which was first published
In 1875.
This wonderful treatise on Christ

excluded any mere opinion on the sub

claring the facts as they exist. 1t can
not for that reason be the human
opinion Of q woman. for no one can
either make or change the law. The
facts of the divine law have been pre-
sented with such precision and grace
that all may read. and understand and
be free. Indeed the last chapter in this
book Science and HEALTH" known as
the chapter on "Fruitage," contains a
