Marian Lapham

With constantly increasing gratitude, I look back over the last two years and a half and realize what Christian Science has been doing for me. I came to it for physical help, after I had followed faithfully, and for a number of years, the advice and direction of many physicians, without receiving any permanent benefit. As anxious as I was to be well and strong, I would gladly have chosen rather to be lifted out of the dissatisfied and depressed mental condition I was in, had I thought such a thing was possible. For more than ten years, ever since I was quite a young girl, I had looked upon suicide as a possible and practical solution of my troubles. Everything I had taken up, hoping to find satisfaction in it, had proved unsatisfying, and I was tired and weary of the emptiness and aimlessness of life; and, through continued ill-health, of my growing uselessness.

Christian Science has not only given me physical health, but it has destroyed in great measure this depression and morbidness, for I have found in it an absolutely logical and satisfying explanation of being which takes away all the old weariness and aimlessness. It is teaching me to know God aright, how to see and love and help others, and, in proportion to my faithfulness to its teachings, has it brought me great peace and happiness.

I feel deeply grateful to God, and to Mrs. Eddy who has toiled for us with such wonderful courage and love.
