The Text Books.
The Bible and Science and heath
With Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker EDDY are the text books OF
Christian Science.
This latter named book. Science and
Health With Key to the Scriptures,
sheds a new and spiritual light on the
Scriptures. iuumines being, and sets
thought at work in right directions.
And life is found not TO be burden,
beset with sickness, enshrouded In
da rkness and engulfed by fear. but is
found to be worth the living; for
health is found in place of sickness,
light instead Of darkness and love in
place Of fear.
The sinner finds the way Of redemp-
ton, and he himself sitting at the feet
OF Christ, truth, clothed, and In his
right mind
Less than 40 years ago this book,
Science and Health With Key to the
Scriptures" was first published and
given to the world
When it first appeared critics said it
would never be read Today this book I
is being read more and more through
r7a nnr lie
the sick are healed, sinners fOrsake I
their sins, and the unrighteous man
his thoughts.
So that the influence of this book is
being felt. and its beneficial effects [
experienced, not only by the students ]
of this book but by all who come
within the range Of their thought
Science and Health With Key TO
the Scriptures" casts more light on the |
inspired word, and is a more highly |
scientific work than any book that |
ever was written. No other book has /
ever stated truth so clearly, and so IN /

Book Teaches Pure Science.
This hook Teaches pure Science, 1t Z
does not teach a mere belief.
When Mrs. Eddy discovered Chris /
tian Science she gave up her former |
opinions and ideas concerning God and |
man, and wrote nothing but the un- 1
%
the one divine principle-GOd.
Christian Science is not another re-
ligiOus belief, it is science, and a sci /
ence is something to be understood /
and demonstrated, not merely believed. /
Christian Scientists cannot properly /
be termed simply believers in Christian /
Science, any more than a mathemau- /
clan could be called mere believer in /
Christian Science. they are studying to I
understand Christian Science, but not 1
trying to believe It
Beliefs Do Not Change Things.
They soon see that their beliefs do 4
not change anything: that what is
true, is true whether they believe it
or not, but if they would get the bene-
fit of it they must understand 1.-THE
same in the science Of being as in the I
science of numbers.
No teacher in mathematics. after de-
mOnstrating a proposition for a pupil, [
ever asks that pupil whether he be-
lieves it; he asks him If he unders lands {
it. knowing that his belief or disbelief
will not change the fact; and what IS
true in the science Of numbers in this /
respect is emphatically true in the
science Of being.
Christian Science is not made up Of
mere personal opinions. It IS the sci
ence of being: and like the science Of
numbers 1t never asks what we think
about it, or how we feel about it. or
we like It or not.
Never Changes.
It never changes to suit our likes or
dislikes; it never varies one iota to
crafty any ones particular wishes or
desires. no difference what your rank,
how exalted or how abased, how rich
or how poor, or what your seeming
needs may be, or however much you
beg for assistance.
But, from its Interchangeable laws of
correctness and right, IT stands as un-
moved and relentless as the science Of

love is saying. You must come to me,
cannot come to YOU. You must con
cede to my requirements, I cannot con-
cede to yours" Il have eternal life to
give. but you must needs surrender all [
false belief to get it
It grants your right desires. and
every human need, but they must be
