Thirty-six years ago I began the study of Christian Science for the healing of fear. In the fortieth Psalm (verses 1,2) we read the words of David: "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit." The affliction of fear can be described as "an horrible pit."

At that time, although I had never heard of Christian Science, I knew that God alone could heal me. I took my Bible and opened it to this verse in Jeremiah (15:21): "I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible." I felt that this was my answer, and very soon thereafter I heard of Christian Science, when a friend came to give a music lesson in my home.

A woman who was staying with me asked the teacher how it was that she was now so well, whereas she used to be ill in bed most of the time. She replied that she had been healed by God in Christian Science. I was glad to know that God was the healer, and I soon purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and began the study of the Lesson-Sermans found in the Christian Science Quarterly.
