Understanding Science and Health

 

Here are Joyce Voysey’s answers Part 2:

8. Has reading Chapter 12 helped you to better understand Science and Health?

I found this question somewhat of a puzzler...

 

Until I got to contemplating the last piece in the chapter (“How to understand Science and Health”), I was going to say that I felt that every testimony that I have read has helped me to understand the textbook and how the Science it proclaims can be demonstrated.  I can still say that, however, I particularly remember being very impressed with that letter to a friend, on how to understand CS.  I am sure it helped me tremendously in my early grasp of Christian Science through the study of S&H. 

 

Actually, I remember asking my guardian to read this letter in the hope that he would understand something of what I saw in Christian Science, and particularly the textbook.  He read it without comment.  (I can still place him on our verandah as he read it.)
