As a child I always felt that there must be some way of getting closer to God. Later, when unhappiness and insecurity seemed to loom large in my life, I began searching for peace of mind. I was confident I could find this through gaining the right understanding of God, if only I knew how to find Him. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 265): "Who that has felt the loss of human peace has not gained stronger desires for spiritual joy? The aspiration after heavenly good comes even before we discover what belongs to wisdom and Love. The loss of earthly hopes and pleasures brightens the ascending path of many a heart."

Christian Science was presented to me, and after attending a church service I knew I had found God close at hand. By earnest study and through the help of a practitioner I was guided through the wilderness. I had to learn to let go of my material thinking and let good into my consciousness. Thoughts of jealousy, envy, hatred, selfishness, and self condemnation had to be put out of my consciousness, and replaced by kindness, love, humility, unselfishness, patience.

Joy, happiness, and numberless blessings have come to me through the right application of this wonderful truth, which Mrs. Eddy so lovingly and courageously gave to all mankind. After wearing glasses for fourteen years I was able to lay them aside. I have been healed of colds, headaches, constipation, and the fear of electrical storms, which caused me much mental anguish for over twenty years. The healing of piles, from which I had suffered for twenty-five years, seemed to take a long time, but this difficulty eventually yielded to Truth. At the time the healing took place I was in a position which necessitated standing on my feet eight hours a day. The pain at times seemed unbearable, but with the loving help of a practitioner this erroneous condition vanished. During the years when the belief of depression has seemed to hold sway I have continuously held a lucrative position. My mother was healed of a difficulty which doctors had pronounced fatal.
