Many years ago I was asked to accompany a relative to a lecture on Christian Science. This was the first I had heard of this Science. It appealed to me because of the fact that it was a religion which healed disease as well as sin.

At the time, I was suffering from a chronic illness which several physicians had diagnosed as catarrh of the stomach. I had tried several specialists, change of climate, dieting, and a mineral spring health resort, but had not received any benefit. Several days after attending the lecture I purchased a Bible, the first Bible I had ever owned, and a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I had help from Christian Science practitioners, and my healing, though very slow, was finally complete. I can truthfully say that in my case no righteous effort was lost, and I proved the promise which Mrs. Eddy gives us in Science and Health (p. 22): "When the smoke of battle clears away, you will discern the good you have done, and receive according to your deserving."
