Eleanor M. Adams

I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing, but for the healing of grief. A dear one had gone from me, and as I had no settled religious convictions, the world seemed to have lost its sweetness. Turn where I would, I could find no comfort. Then in some way it came to my consciousness that Christian Science was a religion of love; and finally the thought became established with me that if Christian Science was the religion of love, I wanted it. As there was not, so far as I knew, a copy of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, in the town, I sent to the nearest city for one; and soon found the comfort for which I had been hungering.

Soon after beginning the study of Christian Science I was healed of stomach trouble of several years' standing; and a predisposition to take heavy colds was also healed through the study of our textbook. In fact, Christian Science has been my one and only physician for many years, and has met my spiritual as well as my physical needs. To write of all it means to me would be to write of my history from the time I started to read my first copy of Science and Health.

For the great truth that God is All, and that nothing exists but God and His manifestation, I am grateful. I am grateful to God for Christian Science, and grateful that there was one so pure that she was able to see the truth, and so unselfish and her understanding of divine Principle so clear that she was able to give it to the world, and to safeguard it with Rules and By-laws laid down in the Church Manual of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, that all efforts of error to overthrow it are in vain.
