I came into Science through the healing of a relative, for whose sake I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. Although I had never belonged to any church, I had for a number of years attended churches of different denominations, assisting with the music, and had often been urged by friends to become a member. I had tried to feel that I really wanted to go to some church, and to believe what was taught, but somehow to me there was always something lacking for which I was seeking. When, however, I read Science and Health I found what I longed for, and it was a revelation indeed. All my questions and doubts were answered, and I knew that God is ever present and not so far away and inaccessible as He had always seemed to be.

Since then I have had many proofs of the efficacy of divine Science as applied to any problem which may present itself. Not only have I been healed of physical ailments, such as severe attacks of headache, stomach trouble, catarrh, etc., but Christian Science enables me daily to do more and better work, both mentally and physically, and it has given me a peace of mind and happiness which can only be found as we grow into the fuller knowledge and understanding of the fact that God is the only creator and all that He creates is good; therefore evil is not real and has no power.

For all this, and for the privilege of church-membership and class instruction, I am truly grateful to God. I also feel that we, as Christian Scientists, must be thankful indeed, every minute of the day, to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for her untiring labors in behalf of suffering humanity.
