Healed by Reading Science and Health

Annie C. Bridgers

When I came in contact with Christian Science I was hopelessly miserable. I felt as if life were a failure and there were more sin and suffering than anything else. Afflictions of many kinds had fallen thick and fast around us. Some were such as could be put down with a brave heart but those which struck at me through my children were more than I could bear. I lost courage, my health failed, and I was so miserable and cross that I wonder at my husband's patience with me.

About this time I had occasion to spend several months in New York City, and there I was thrown with Christian Scientists. I was at once impressed with their cheerful, happy, loving ways. This was so unusual that I knew there must be some power back of Christian Science, and when in the course of conversation they told me that right thinking was the basis of right acting, and if one's thoughts were filled with good there would be no room for evil, it at least made me think. I attended the church three times, and it never failed to bring a sweet sense of peace and cheer.

After I left New York I studied the Bible closely and found that Christian Scientists put the proper interpretation on it, and I wrote to New York for Science and Health.
