In Science and Health, our beloved...
In Science and Health, our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, writes (p. 598), "One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity." And elsewhere she says (ibid., p. 246), "Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness."
I was a confirmed member of an orthodox church when I was first told about Christian Science. I saw at once that this teaching was entirely different from what I had been taught of God and man. Next day I attended a Wednesday testimony meeting in a Church of Christ, Scientist, for the first time, and I saw a glimpse of light. This light is Christian Science, which has brought me peace, joy, and power; it has shown me the new birth, the way from sense to Soul, and through it I have found freedom. I attended both churches for six months, then decided to become a student of Christian Science. I have now had class instruction.
One day I was suddenly attacked by very severe pain in my back. I was hardly able to move. I tried to reject the pain immediately, but it grew worse. Next moment brought the fear that I would not be able to attend a church meeting that evening. I called a practitioner for help.
