It is difficult to express what I owe to Christian Science
It is difficult to express what I owe to Christian Science. When I first heard of this teaching I was unhappy in my work, subject to frequent bad attacks of depression and outbursts of temper, and generally was in a serious nervous condition. After studying Science and Health for a while, I realized that Christian Science was the truth for which I had been seeking. The beautiful teachings of the nothingness of evil and matter, of the allness of God, Life, Truth, Love, and of man, spiritual and perfect, the image and likeness of God, gave me a wonderful happiness and peace of mind. The nervous condition gradually fell away from me, and at the same time I was able to give up smoking, after being a heavy smoker for ten years.
As the conditions under which I worked were most uncongenial, I sought the help of a practitioner, and as a result of this help and my further study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's works, the conditions rapidly improved, until finally, as my understanding of man and his work unfolded a little more, the conditions became harmonious and happy. All through the recent depression, although the staff was reduced by fifty per cent and men with better academic qualifications than I have were dismissed, I held my position. When the future appeared very black indeed, harder study resulted in an unexpected offer of a position of greater responsibility and security than I might have expected for years to come even in normal times.
Christian Science has been of inestimable value to me in my profession; and in this connection I should like to express my gratitude for The Christian Science Monitor, many articles in which have been invaluable as a basis for much of my work as a schoolteacher. I have also been healed in three days, with the help of a practitioner, of a dangerous condition of the throat, and the study of Science and Health has cured me of lumbago and constipation, and of many faults of character.
