Having been born into a Christian Science home and...
Having been born into a Christian Science home and brought up under the loving guidance of the Christian Science Sunday School, I cannot help but feel that my greatest cause for thankfulness is the beautiful freedom which Christian Science gives one from wrong thinking of all kinds. During twenty-five years this truth has never failed either me or my family. A day never passes that does not bring its healing message. When a little child I was healed of a severe case of smallpox after the physicians, who were called in compliance with the municipal laws, had said that I could not live. No scar or blemish was left.
In my school work and in my business the realization of the ever-availability of divine Mind has brought the demonstrations of excellent memory, serenity, and calmness under conditions of confusion and excitement, and freedom from fear. The realization that "Love is reflected in love," as Mrs. Eddy says on page 17 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has given me a love for all mankind that has brought kind friends and harmonious surroundings.
Day by day I rejoice at the manifestations of abundant health, strength, and supply. The healing of corns, halitosis, mumps, and tonsillitis stand out as especially significant because of the purification of thought they brought. The members of my family have all had numerous reasons to say with the Psalmist, "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." To me the cause for utmost gratitude is the happier and nobler outlook on life which Christian Science gives one. In these days when many believe in the naturalness and irresistibility of evil, it is indeed a comfort to know that "I am the Lord that healeth thee."
