I took up the study of Christian Science some years ago when, in the company of a friend, I decided to visit denominations other than our own to find out if there was any satisfying explanation to questions which seemed to us unanswerable.

I attended a Sunday service at a Christian Science church and was attracted by its peaceful atmosphere. There was much in the service which I did not understand, but I came away rejoicing in the spiritual interpretation of the Lord's Prayer, which is repeated at each Sunday service in all Christian Science churches. I borrowed the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and began to read it. I think it was the wonderful chapter on Prayer that filled me with the desire to know more of the teachings of Christian Science. I read and reread this chapter, and it answered so many of my questions that my concept of God was revolutionized.

The study of Christian Science has given me a clearer understanding of God and His spiritual creation, and as a result of this change of thought physical healings have been experienced. On one occasion I was healed of yellow jaundice in three days with the prompt and loving help of a Christian Science practitioner. There was no period of convalescence.
