FOUNDED on THE BIBLE
The teachings OF Christian Science
are inseperable from the Bible. They |
are founded upon the eternal truth
of being which that book of the age'
contains. "The Bible was my only /
textbook" writes Mrs. Eddy In
Science and Health. page 10. where /
she outlines the footsteps which led /
up to her discovery of Christian |

If you are sceptic and nave
doubted the authenticity of the Bible
you may prove yourself, through

YRS. EDDY'S TWOFOLD0 WORK.
From childhood Mrs. Eddy, under
he guidance Of her spiritually mind
ID mother, had learned to turn to
iod for relief from sickness. Her
Puritan parents saw to it that she
eceiyed a thorough training in
he Bible teachings and early in
irlhOod she became q member OF
he Congregational Church, AS a
oung girl she enjoyed the friend
hip and confidence of her pastor {
Tho commented on certain of her {
arly literary efforts thus, MARY,
our poetry goes beyond my the.
logy, why should | preach to your !
tut there came time, as prehaps ,
here has come in your experience {
nd mine, when the teachings OF
he church seemed to fall short, /
,hen the limitations of it's creed '
nd dogma seemed to obscure the I
,onderful Scriptural promises. In i
arly womanhood Mrs. Eddy became {
Dnvinced that Christ Jesus healed a
V some certain law and that the a
ame law could be applied now as t
ell as then. Her high hope was H. v
lstrated by this remark made by G
