Especially was she inter ested in the healing art, and her quick recovery from the result of an accident, through the revelation of the spiritual meaning of the Bible, led to her discov- cry of Christian Science in 1866.

This book is proving itself to be a potent factor in the elevation of the human race. and is literally making history by remodeling the lives and ca reers of mutitudes. Mrs. Eddy has been the active leader of the Christian Science movement from it's inception, and continues to mold its growth and development along the lines of the great est usefulness to mankind. The reward of the good and faithful servant is hers, and this is source of qualification to every fair-minded person."
