Christian Science has been a wonderful helped to me in every possible way. I first heard of it nearly six years ago, and although at first I found its teaching very difficult to grasp I had not read many lines of Science and Health before I was convinced that it was the truth which Jesus taught. I think the chief obstacle to my progress was impatience. Instead of putting into practice the simple truths I understood, I argued about much which I could not understand. A Scientist friend pointed out to me that by putting into practice what I understood I would gain further understanding. I tried very hard to do this and was most wonderfully rewarded, for much which before had seemed to me absurd and contradictory in Science and Health appeared perfectly clear, logical, and consistent.

Before beginning the study of Christian Science I took medicine regularly, but have taken none of any kind since and have been in better health than ever before. Through appreciation of the truth, knowing that God would guide each step, I have taken positions which seemingly I have been very unfitted for. I have known that God is infinite intelligence and that man, God's idea, reflects that intelligence, that the answer to every question exists in Mind and that Mind would unfold to man all that it was necessary for him to know. I have been able to fill each position successfully. I have been healed of the sense of separation, worry for the future, fear, lack, and many wrong conditions of thought. Impatience, irritability, quick temper are yielding more slowly, but I rejoice in the fact that they are yielding, and every resistance to error aids its final destruction.

I am very grateful indeed for Christian Science, also for our literature, church services, and testimony meetings. I am very grateful to Mrs. Eddy and all the friends who so lovingly and patiently helped me when the way seemed difficult. I thank God for all the blessings Christian Science has brought into my life.
