OVERCAME
SERIOUS INJURY.
1t was in 1866 that Mrs. Eddy over
came a serious injury through reliance
on spiritual, as wholly apart from mat
terial, law and became convinced of ia
feFing humanity. For three years there
after she studied the Scriptures most dill
tgently and from them derived q fuller
understanding Of this spiritual law OF
life and its applicability TO every need
Of men. The results OF these and the
preceding years OF consecrated study
and research were given to the world In
1915 through the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures, which has become, next
to the Bible on which it is founded, the
most widely read book in the Christian
world. As Doctor Patton made the ma
terial waters available TO the unbeliev-
ing natives Of Aniwa. waters which had
ever been within their reach though in
the opposite direction from which they
had been looking, so Mrs. Eddy. has

of men for the truth Of being.

Red Cross, wrote Of Mrs. Eddy with pro-

y A great moral current Is running
through the minds Of men and nations
and whence Is IL running? Every
thoughtful observer must see that Il is
toward a oneness Of mind, a common
sense Of right, q common sense OF life
and how TO live, among all the peoples
Of the earth. Men are finding little by

OF being, and they are finding IL IN the
