Thankful for the Revelation of Truth

D. B.

In 1888 Christian Science found me an invalid suffering from nervous prostration and ulcerated stomach and bowels, brought on partly by strong medicine, and partly by worry and trouble.

For seven long years, I wandered in the wilderness of doubt and fear,—living in the past, borrowing trouble from the future and seeing nothing but darkness in the present, thinking that if there were a God He had forsaken me, or I had never understood Him aright. From childhood I was never satisfied with the explanation of who or what God was.

I believed Him to be a personal God, a God of vengeance and everlasting punishment. And why, was a problem I could not solve. The vague teaching of what a true Christian life should be here as regards every-day living, was not satisfying to me. How was I to know that I was right? I was conscientious and truthful, trying to do all the good I could, yet I believed there was a way by which we could distinguish between truth and error.
