Christian Science was brought to me by a dear friend, in a time of great need, and I shall never cease to be grateful that I was ready to accept it without questioning. I cannot forget the joy that came with a realization that "thus man was," as Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 573), "no longer regarded as a miserable sinner, but as the blessed child of God." Later in my study of this wonderful key to the Scriptures I found I had caught a glimpse of the real man.

I have had a number of physical healings in my twenty-three years' study of Christian Science, but the one that seems to mean much in my daily life is the healing from headaches. From childhood I had been subject to severe headaches and as the years went on they grew in frequency and intensity and held me in bondage. I was never able to make engagements either for business or pleasure, without reservation and was consequently deprived of many useful activities. Physicians searched for the cause in order to prescribe a remedy, but utterly failed. This healing in Christian Science was slow, but the healing of other discordant conditions made me press on to work out my own salvation, and I rejoice to say that my freedom came.

While I am very grateful for all the physical healings, the better understanding of God as Principle, of man's oneness with Principle, and of the brotherhood of man means far more to me. It is my privilege to be a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church and to have a part in their activities. I am also most grateful for class instruction, which has given me a broader and more practical understanding of Christian Science and its application to human experiences.
