simply to show what good work may be
done by any earnest, conscientious person who has gained by reading my
works the proper understanding of the Principle of Christian Science.

What a wonderful field for enlightenment and profit lies open to those who
seek after Truth. Alas, that the feet of so few enter it!

_Rev. M. B. G. Eddy_:--Will you kindly spare me a few moments for the
perusal of these lines from a stranger,-- one who feels under a debt of
gratitude to you,--for, through the divine Science brought to light by you,
I have been "made whole." I have been cured of a malignant cancer since I
began to study Christian Science, and have _demonstrated the truth_ of it
in a number of cases. I have only studied your good books, having been
_unable_ to take the lectures for want of means. I dare not think of
these, for there is no prospect that I shall be in a position to take the
course at all. I do not allow myself to complain, but cheerfully take up
my books and study, and feel thankful for this light.

_Dear Madam_:--May I thank you for your book, "Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures," and say how much I owe to it--almost my very life--at a
most critical time....

If it were not for the heat of your American summers (I had nine attacks
of dysentery in the last one), and the expense, I should dearly like to
learn from you personally; but I must forego this,--at any rate, for the
present. If you would write me what the cost would be for a course on
divine metaphysics, I would try to manage it later on.

Meanwhile, I should be grateful if you would refer me to any one in this
country who is interested similarly, for I get more kicks than halfpence
in discussing it.

Your obliged friend,

(REV.) I. G. W. BISHOP,

Extract from a letter to Rev. M. B. G. Eddy

A gentleman here had hired all the most skilled doctors in the United
States--nothing helped him. He was a ghost to look upon. I told him just to
read my copies of your books. I talked to him, told him what he could do
for himself if he but tried. He laughed at me. I was willing he should
laugh, for it was very unusual for him to do this. He had your books two
months, and last Sunday he returned
