About seventeen years ago, I turned to Christian Science for the healing of a crippled foot. A bone specialist had told me that I must walk on crutches for three months, or until my general condition would permit an operation. Instead, with the help of a Christian Science practitioner, I continued my work in the office to which I had just returned after quite a long absence. A new world was revealed to me through the loving work of the practitioner. The healing of the foot was slow, but I received strength for each day's work as the need arose, and experienced many minor healings during this time.

The first Lesson-Sermon in theChristian Science Quarterly which I studied was "Adam and Fallen Man," and the explanations of the real creation and the false one answered many of my questions. I felt I was indeed starting at the beginning. The Lesson-Sermons mean more to me each week, and I am so grateful that Mrs. Eddy was guided to provide them.

The Reading Room was certainly an oasis to me during these first months of study. The office where I worked was close enough to a downtown Reading Room to enable me to spend half of my lunch hour there each day. I am very grateful for the Reading Rooms all over the world and for the loving service rendered by the librarians.
