Longing for something better than I had found, and being of an independent, super-sensitive nature, which was developing into a suspicious and distrustful one and which was leading to self-condemnation and isolation, I was attracted to Christian Science through seeing the glorious results of its healing and the Christlikeness of its gospel. It seemed too good to be true, and almost impossible that such blessedness could be realized on earth.
My growth spiritually has been slow, for I had to see surely that this understanding of God is practical and to be enjoyed now. Each succeeding year is proving the happiest, and I am rejoicing in the consciousness that man is "the spiritual image and likeness of God" (Science and Health, p. 591).
I am thankful for "the freer step, the fuller breath," that is mine through studying and trying to live Christian Science as taught in Science and Health; I am beginning to know that "God is All in all" and there is none else. This was brought still more clearly to consciousness through class instruction. I find that obedience to the smallest detail in the work of Truth, is multiplied many times in results, and if the still, small voice of spiritual guidance be followed, there is no missing the way.
