When asked, "What is the greatest blessing that has ever come to you?" I answer, "Christian Science." It is indeed the Comforter which was promised by Jesus. My husband took up the study of Christian Science first. When I found out what he was reading I did all I could to turn him from studying; but as Truth is stronger than error, he was not turned away, but kept on reading and studying, I was just about broken-hearted. I felt there was a gulf between us that was getting wider and wider; for the one great thing in our life on which we had seen eye to eye was religion; and here was something which had come to make a separation, so it seemed. Indeed, I did not know which way to turn, for I was not satisfied with the religion I had been following; it did not give me the comfort I needed. I cried out to my Father, God, to show me the way.

There was to be a Christian Science lecture at the church my husband was attending. I did not know whether to go or not; but, as I had always done before in all my problems, I went to my Father and with a broken and contrite heart asked again for guidance. I asked that if Christian Science was His truth I should be led to go to that lecture; and if it was the truth I should know it, and if it was not the truth that something would be said which would clearly show me it was not His way; for I wanted so much to find the right way to worship God. I prayed all night and all the next day, and when it was time to go to the lecture I knew the decision for or against would be made that night.

I shall never forget that night. Although I do not remember much of the lecture, I remember the peace and quiet that came to me. I had never been in a Christian Science church before. I cannot describe my feeling as I listened to the lecture with open heart and received my blessing and healing. I came away knowing that all that was said was good, and if that was Christian Science I would learn more of it. I attended the next Wednesday evening meeting and heard some wonderful testimonies, and also attended the service the following Sunday with my husband. Our five children started in the Christian Science Sunday School the same Sunday morning. From then on we have been studying daily our Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly, and receiving the blessings which come to all who do so.
