    PREFACE. The history of this book, Christian Science Healing, is as follows. In July 1886, I went to America to travel; I found the Christian Science movement, and became the owner of Woman's World * in Chicago. This was a little paper devoted to the advancement of women, socially and industrially; it had already declared for Christian Science, asserting that only through Spiritual evolution of the individual can the world's suffering be removed. I soon turned the paper into a magazine, its present form. Watching and working in the movement, in America (October 1887-88), I came to the conclusion, that what would best serve the interests of my subscribers would be a course of clear but elementary lectures. I believed they would rouse some country districts to send for a competent teacher, where for want of understanding the bearings of the subject, they would hesitate, fearing perhaps imposi- tion ;—and I have reason to know many classes have been promoted by the study of Woman's World;—while the really isolated could learn from its pages, something * In January 1887, The Lady's World took my title, but yielded to my protest. In September 1887, it took my title on both sides of the Atlantic, but as it removed its publishing office from Chicago, where I publish Woman's World, to New York, I suffer no inconvenience in America ; and as I do not publish in England, I had, of course, acquired no right to the title there. This explanation may interest some, and help others to avoid confusing the costly social and fashionable magazine with my little monthly messenger of Christian Science (published at 36 Central Music Hall, Chicago, U.S.A., price one dollar a year, or to be had in England of Mr Red way, 15 York Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C., price five shillings a year). b
