Elizabeth C. Adams

I want to tell something of what Christian Science has meant to our family, and to express our gratitude to those who have helped us gain an understanding of it. I am especially grateful to Mrs. Eddy, through whose devotion this revelation of Truth came to this age, and next to those who by living and teaching it have brought it home to me and mine. Deep gratitude is felt for the light this teaching has thrown on the art of loving, or perhaps I should say on the science of loving,—a light that has made a great difference in the happiness of our family life.

We have found that to know more about love involves learning more about God; and even a little greater knowledge of Him as the Principle of beauty and of harmonious action, the Spirit of love and unity, the substance of all reality, has brought with it the inevitable result of freer and more perfect action of mind and body. We have been interested in Christian Science for many years, and have had more than sufficient proof of the truth and value of this teaching, as regards both health and happiness, to make us wish to express our gratitude for it,—a gratitude which tends more and more to express itself in works as well as in words.

My husband was relieved very quickly and completely by Christian Science treatment some years ago, when mumps had resulted in most painful complications, and I could enumerate other cases of healing, including the arresting of what had been regarded by my mother for seventy years as the inevitable course of a sneezing cold; but these things seem to me unimportant compared to the purifying of the human consciousness. We surely have reason to be grateful for Christian Science.
