I did not take up the study of Christian Science for physical healing, but because it appealed to me as being a beautiful and practical religion. And I know that I was led to this church in answer to my prayer for a religion that seemed reasonable.

I knew nothing about Christian Science before my first visit to the church. It is fifteen years since that first visit, and when understandingly applied the truth has met my every need. For months before that time I had never closed my eyes at night without a great desire to find something I did not have. Mrs. Eddy says on page 1 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds." While I knew nothing of Christian Science then, I did trust God.

Since coming to Christian Science we have had many healings in our home, and have proved several times, when our children have been exposed to contagious diseases, that there is no law which perpetuates contagion. We have turned to "Miscellaneous Writings" by our Leader, and read and studied the article entitled "Contagion" (pp. 228, 229); and I feel that not only our own children but others' have been protected.
