My debt to divine Love can never be repaid or expressed...

My debt to divine Love can never be repaid or expressed in words. My daily prayer is to live worthy of the unbounded love with which God sustains His children.

I approached the portal of Christian Science, humanly speaking, a wreck. Disease, evil, and false gods had launched into my consciousness a reign of fear and torment; and during that black mental night I would all but succumb with fear and helplessness. In mental torture I would cry out to the unknown God to forgive my transgressions and forever obliterate from my life that tenacious, devastating evil and terror. Reared in a stern Puritancial home, amid the confusing concepts of erroneous religious doctrines, but with an inherent desire to do good, I could not understand why I should be persecuted by strange, evil impulses and unseen, subtle influences from which I could not seemingly escape. Indeed, it seemed that Satan had bound me. Through all this mad experience I never surrendered an abiding faith in a supreme, all-powerful, all-knowing God; and upon finishing the chapter on Prayer in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I recognized the "still small voice" of Truth by the strange peace and rising hope that seemed to flood my famished consciousness. To this newfound friend I steadfastly clung, this life-inspiring book becoming my constant companion and never failing staff. Those dark dreams have long since been banished before the soft, tender glow of omnipotent Truth, and my healings have since continued daily.

The tobacco habit of twelve years' indulgence has been wholly destroyed. I now enjoy the privileges of a happy home and a loving family, circumstances to which I formerly aspired, but never dreamed of obtaining. Both my wife and my mother have had many remarkable healings of conditions that defied medical science. The birth of our baby was attended by peace and joy, because it was governed solely by the truth.
