"The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light." This text means much to me. For many years I was in darkness because I knew not how to open my windows towards Jerusalem and let in this light that would cause "thy darkness to be as the noonday."

There came to me a great desire for a better understanding of life and its demands, a willingness to do God's will if only it could be made plain to me, and I now see that my desire was a prayer which was answered almost immediately, for I was led to Christian Science and healed at once of the severe headaches from which I had suffered many years. After such healing how could I help wanting to know something of the wondrous power that had wrought this change from sickness to health.

I commenced the study of Science and Health with the thought that its truth had been proved and that I could understand it, and how can I express in words the revelation it was to me. The Bible, which had previously been a sealed book, was now illumined. I knew I was a disciple of Christ, and I began to study and ponder his teachings, knowing if I were faithful the Christ-truth would lead me to "rivers of living water."
