1910 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is the Final Edition authorized by Mary Baker Eddy.

  	    Naturalists describe the origin of mortal and material
 1	existence in the various forms of embryology, and ac-
  	company their descriptions with important observations,
 3	which should awaken thought to a higher and	                                    Better basis
  	purer contemplation of man's origin. This	                                            than
  	clearer consciousness must precede an under-	                                    embryology 
 6	standing of the harmony of being. Mortal thought must
  	obtain a better basis, get nearer the truth of being, or
  	health will never be universal, and harmony will never
 9	become the standard of man. 
  	    One of our ablest naturalists has said: "We have no
  	right to assume that individuals have grown or been
12	formed under circumstances which made material con-
  	ditions essential to their maintenance and reproduction,
  	or important to their origin and first introduction." 
15	Why, then, is the naturalist's basis so materialistic,
  	and why are his deductions generally material?
