About five years ago I became interested in Christian Science...

Edith Malyon

About five years ago I became interested in Christian Science through reading our text-book, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. After reading the book for about three weeks, I was convinced of the truth it contains, and knew that I had no other desire than to work for this great Cause. Learning that one could be instructed in Christian Science, I felt I must go to America and be taught. My father is one of the oldest pharmacists in the city where I live, and when I spoke of my desire I did not receive any encouragement. However, I started to read the Lesson-Sermon with others who were interested, and after three years, working as far as I could understand the textbook, the way was opened for me to visit America. I found from Science and Health that error could not keep me from learning how to demonstrate the truth, and one by one the obstacles disappeared, the last though not least of which was a dread of the sea. I had been so afraid, that I could never enjoy the pleasure of boating on our own calm lake, but when I started on the long water journey my thought was filled with messages from the Bible, of God's loving protection. The fear of sea-sickness was overcome immediately by reading in Science and Health, page 259, lines 23 to 26. Words will never convey the gratitude and love that I feel towards all those I met in Boston. I had the privilege of seeing our dear

Leader at Concord, and of attending the dedicatory services there on July 17, 1904. To attend the services in the dear Mother Church was an experience to awaken greater love for God, who has revealed this truth through Mrs. Eddy. Christian Science has certainly changed my darkness into light, and taught me what constitutes true happiness. My heart is full of love and gratitude to God, and to our Leader for this revelation of Truth, and for the countless blessings I have received. My earnest desire is to reflect Truth and Love always.—Edith Malyon, Ballarat, Australia.
