Recently I was asked if Christian Scientists had any religion

Rose Cruey

Recently I was asked if Christian Scientists had any religion. To this I would say that three years prior to coming into Science, I had joined an orthodox church. The preacher asked me to read a chapter from the Bible every day, to which I agreed, saving that it would be no difficult thing to do: but at the end of two years I found myself looking for the shortest chapters. I did not wish to break my promise, otherwise I think I would have given up the reading altogether. After coming into Christian Science, however, the Bible became a new book to me. Often eleven and twelve o'clock at night still found me up and reading, whereas before I would not have been able to stay up even had I wished to.

We are a family of nine, and yet I have less worry and care than in the old thought. Then, though we were fewer in number, there was always more or less sickness, but all this winter, with only one exception and that of short duration, the children have been entirely free from illness.' To me Christian Science means even more as a preventive than as a curative. For one thing I am especially grateful, and that is for having all tear of storms and of contagious diseases taken away.—Rose Cruey, Rantoul. III.
