For seventeen years Christian Science has been my help and comfort at all times and in all ways. I gratefully acknowledge the good which has come to me through the understanding of this truth.

My search for Truth began when I was a young child. I felt that there must be just one right way in which to worship God. The fact that so many sects, at variance with one another, all claimed to be on the road to salvation, proved to me that they must have missed something. I often prayed earnestly to be shown the right way. For two years before Christian Science was presented to me, I read the Bible during most of my spare time. I pondered often and long on the promise, "I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

I have always felt that I received a direct answer to my prayer; for I was led to accept a position as teacher in a small town where the only room I could obtain was with a woman who had, four years before, experienced a beautiful healing through Christian Science treatment. I am grateful to this woman, for she told me about Christian Science; and her life was proof of all she claimed for it. I knew at once that this was the thing for which I had been seeking. It was so wonderful and so beautiful to me from the very first page of the literature I read, that I continued reading, with a hunger that only Truth could satisfy. During the previous year I had undergone two surgical operations, and had been constantly under a physician's care. I was healed through reading our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I had given no thought to the physical healing, for I was so grateful to have found the right way in which to worship God. I was also able at this time to lay aside glasses which had been worn for eight years. Since then I have had many beautiful proofs of God's care. I shall relate two experiences which are typical, and which have served as waymarks in my progress.
