408 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. M. E. W., Cañon City, Col.&emsp;

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.
