When
Christian Science first illumines for us the wonderful truth contained in the words of Paul, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit," what a wealth of comfort we experience; and what heavy burdens begin to drop from us! We have, perhaps, been believing that some one was misjudging us, and thus treating us unfairly, or was feeling resentful towards us over some apparently real or fancied error on our part.
Some

After years spent in the fruitless study of various philosophies and religions, sickness at length brought me near death's door, and I felt as never before the need of an understanding of God.
Ever since I was old enough to read the Bible, the fact that the healing works of Jesus were not continued to our day and time had been a perplexing problem to me.
