I turned to Christian Science for help when I did not know what to do next, for I had done everything I could humanly to support my mother and my sister. When we had reached the end of our resources, a dear friend recommended Christian Science to us and told us of those he knew who had received much benefit from the application of this Science. My mother took the last dollar we had and applied to a practitioner for help, which was given with abundance. He furnished some literature for us to read, and I endeavored to read a pamphlet that night and believed it to be the hardest thing I had ever undertaken, for I was without any belief in God or in anything whatever that was religious. I read a sentence many times before I could comprehend anything at all of what it meant.

We surely must have been ready for Christian Science and its benefits, for our financial needs were met the next day and have been met constantly since then. We have not used any medicine, nor has it been necessary in these sixteen years to have a physician give us any attention. I have been healed of many things which were accepted as all right and which I made no effort whatever to change, such as unpleasant traits of character, bad temper, use of profanity, and much use of tobacco. The standard of Christian Science was so high that I found none of these things were in harmony with this teaching. That is what healed me—they left because not in harmony with Love.

Needless to say, I am grateful for all this outpouring of good which I have received; and, more than this, I have some understanding of God and am learning more. I love the Bible, which I use every day. Jesus said once, "Your joy no man taketh from you." The calm assurance and the joy and comfort which I have ever with me are of untold value. Christian Science is not just a religion to me: it is that, and also a guide for daily living, a way to live—really live.
