I have heard a little and read a little about "Christian Science,"– enough to make me want to know more. Can I be a student of this science without entering one of your schools, and would you please direct me to books that a mother busy with her little ones and her home, can read or study in her few leisure hours with profit to herself and possibly with help to someoneAs Written:some one else?

I will be infinitely obliged by an answer to my questions, and trust that your noble efforts may be blessed with unlimited success.

Very Truly
Mrs. W. H. Greene.

Mrs. M. B. G. Eddy.
