In the year 1866 Mary Baker Eddy,
whom medical skill had failed to re-
lieve of a serious physical trouble,
was instantaneously healed through
reading the Scriptures. Christian
Scientists know that with her healing
began the modern fulfillment of
jesus promise: "When he, the Spirit
of truth, is come, he will guide you

her physical healing and losing her
self in the throng of the unthankful,
her gratitude to God and compassion
for suffering humanity led her to in

With that honest recognition of JUS
