I was brought up in the Jewish faith, but had no definite concept of God and His creation until it was revealed to me in Christian Science. With this new understanding all traditional prejudices, all ritualistic customs, all man-made theories were eliminated; yet all that is true in the Old Testament was preserved to me, as well as the one God, the God of Abraham, although my concept of Him has been changed from a God to be feared to a God who is Love.

Nineteen hundred years ago Jesus preached the truth to the Jews as Christian Science is doing today. In John's gospel we read: "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." For the past five years I have proved that this true understanding of God does free one from all manner of discord. I was able to apply it when my son, four and a half years old, playfully applied some potash to his face and burned it severely. I was not at home at the time, but telephoned shortly afterward and was told about it. With a proper realization of the truth as we are taught in Christian Science, I continued what I was doing, knowing that as a child of God he was governed by spiritual law, and that there are no accidents in divine Mind. On my arrival home, several hours later, the child came running to the door and greeted me with the joyous exclamation, "It doesn't hurt a bit." In two days all signs of the burn and a swelling of the mouth were gone, leaving no blemish.

To say I am thankful to God is to express my feelings very mildly.—
