My coming into Christian Science was a normal growth...

Clara M. Schmitt

My coming into Christian Science was a normal growth from the material sense of God and the universe, into the spiritual sense.

I was a member of an orthodox church for years, but with advanced study of the Scriptures and with general observation, my experience became the same as that of many others who have endeavored to love and serve God but could not reconcile their conception of His justice with the generally accepted belief about Him. I attended other churches; and spent several years in a listless, almost aimless way, looking for something, I knew not what. After varied experiences Christian Science came under my observation. For some time I regarded in a passive way what I saw and heard of this Science; but at last I determined to know something definite of it, and I remember so well the great hope that sprang up in me when I started to read the text-book. I had seen and heard enough to give me the hope that in Christian Science I might find that for which my heart was longing.

And I found it. I found satisfaction, I found peace,—yea, I found God. The healing power of Christian Science has been manifested in the destruction of discontent and sorrow. I have also been healed of physical disorders, such as chronic constipation, frequent pain in the side, colds; also malarial fever, from which I suffered almost yearly ever since a child. This disease was believed to be due to heredity, and as I grew older it was more severe, confining me to my bed for many days. It is now four years since I began the study of Christian Science and this disease has entirely disappeared. In my immediate family the efficacy of Christian Science to remove discord of every kind—sin, sickness, financial troubles, all evil—is daily being demonstrated, and we are learning that God is able and willing to keep us from all evil.
