I began the study of Christian Science because I was hungry and thirsty for Truth, and the church of which I was a member did not give me what I was earnestly seeking. I read and studied the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for some time, and although I knew it revealed the truth I did not understand it; but as I continued to study, understanding came, and it was like lifting a curtain and letting sunshine into a darkened room. Christian Science has brought me health and strength such as I have never known. Glasses were laid aside which had seemed very necessary to my comfort and happiness.

The children in our home are grateful for the privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School. The truths they are learning help them in every way. The younger boy had attended Sunday school only a few times when he fell and bumped his head on a chair rocker. He began to cry, but stopped almost instantly and said, "That is a false belief," and went back to his play.

Several years ago we were in quarantine for a short time. We reversed the testimony of the card put on the front of our house and said, "God within." We held firmly to the fact that ours was a Love-filled home. Two active boys listened eagerly and attentively to the reading of the entire Lesson-Sermon each day. The experience was a great opportunity for growth.
