Jesus said, "Freely ye have received, freely give."

Flora Fuessel

Jesus said, "Freely ye have received, freely give." Through the study and application of Christian Science I have received so many blessings that I should like to share some of them here, in the hope that they will give encouragement and help to some hungry heart searching and yearning for a better understanding of God.

Christian Science was presented to me during a visit to some friends in another city, who, because I had considered them atheists, surprised me by asking what I thought God was, and then telling me how one of them had been healed in Christian Science, when an operation seemed the only solution to a physical problem. In reply to my statement that my concept of God was of an all-seeing eye in the sky somewhere, these friends explained that God is Love, and then let me read the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

The book proved so interesting, and I was so convinced that it contained the truth for which I had been longing, that upon returning to my own city I immediately enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School, bought a copy of Science and Health, and started attending services regularly. My mother, who had been brought up in one of the orthodox churches, but had stopped attending because its teachings did not satisfy her, then became interested in Christian Science, started attending services, and had a number of beautiful healings through the help of a practitioner.
