Through the understanding that God is divine Love and ever ready to meet all human needs, many blessings have come to me. I was taught from infancy in a strict orthodox church by a devoted mother and teachers. During the past few years, however, I was not fully satisfied with my church, feeling that it lacked the spirituality that God would have among us. I had visited other churches, but with the same results. I had practically never heard of Christian Science.

A few months ago I came to Chicago, met some Scientists, became deeply interested in the study of Science, and soon realized it was that for which I had hungered. I felt that I had found the Christianity which satisfied my wants. I had worn glasses off and on ever since I was eleven years old, but discarded them as soon as I became interested in Science. I was healed of inherited catarrh. My mother, sisters, and brothers soon took up this study, and our home is one of harmony and happiness.

I am thankful to God for these teachings, which are made clear to us by one so unselfish that divine Love, through her, has lighted the way for all humanity. I am not as grateful as I should be for all I have received, but my one desire is that I may be worthy to be called a true Christian Scientist.
