R. Kathryne Goetz

I have had many healings through Christian Science during the last eleven years. I became interested through kind neighbors who explained its teachings somewhat, recounted their blessings, and gave me pieces of our literature to read and ponder. A false concept of man had held me in bondage for many years, and not until fear and its satellites, discouragement, personality, self-consciousness, self-condemnation, and the like, were exposed and replaced by love and the right concept of man did I know peace and joy.

I learned in the working out of this problem that we need to be obedient and willing to follow the leadings of Principle because of our need of intelligent, consecrated guidance if we would not stumble about in the wilderness. I rejoice in knowing that the only crucifixion there is or can be is the putting off the old false sense of selfhood, with its sins, limitations, and fears, and that this must be done before an entrance can be had into the joy of the Lord, ere we can receive our rightful inheritance. The direct consequence of the activity of right knowing has been the working out of the problem of supply or remunerative employment, proving that inexperience and lack of training are no handicap to one who looks to God for his daily needs, nor do we need to be weary and heavy-laden when about the Father's business.

I am grateful for the privilege of church membership and for the opportunity of service in our Church, which Mrs. Eddy defines, in part, thus (Science and Health, p. 583): "Church. The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle." I also appreciate the privilege of class instruction and the greater opportunity for service which it brings.
