I am deeply grateful for Christian Science

Elizabeth Ruth Fagundus

I am deeply grateful for Christian Science. Its healing power was first brought to my attention by The Christian Science Monitor. I returned from school one day extremely weary—I was doing postgraduate work in Boston at the time—and picked up a Monitor which had been left in the lobby of the apartment house in which I was living. When I put down the paper, I realized that all sense of fatigue had vanished.

Shortly after this I purchased a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and began to read. The desire to smoke left me, much to my surprise and chagrin. I recognized the cause, and stopped reading. I did not intend to read Christian Science if it was going to interfere with that which I considered my personal liberty. It was some time before I learned what real liberty is; for it was not until I was willing to read the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly systematically, and to put into practice the little understanding which I had gained, that I began to grasp the meaning of the great truths of Christian Science.

I am grateful for the freedom which has come to me through the study of Christian Science. Wrong habits have vanished; sick headaches, colds, ivy poisoning which had become almost a seasonal occurrence, and extreme fatigue have all disappeared into their native nothingness. I lived for years under the fear of an old ailment which doctors had said might return at any time. After I came into Christian Science the fear vanished.

Above all blessings I am grateful for the spiritual understanding I have gained through Christian Science. I am grateful for the "signs following," and for the knowledge that Jesus' mission was to show us the way out of matter into Spirit. I am grateful for the understanding that God is ever present, all-powerful, and that evil has neither power nor presence. I am deeply grateful for Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, for it was she who gave us this great truth.—(Miss) Elizabeth Ruth Fagundus, Baltimore, Maryland.
