Foremost amongst the blessings...

Harry Boissevain

Foremost amongst the blessings which have come my way is Christian Science, with its appeal of strength and infinite patience with human shortcomings, overcoming them not by human means but by unfailing Love.

I had been brought up in an atmosphere of free thought and high moral culture, had had an excellent education, was rich in the world's goods, and the future seemed big with promise. But many lessons had to be learned, chiefly humility and purity—humility, which makes work a joy, and purity, which rises above personal sense and sensual pleasure.

I took up the study of Christian Science to help me learn these lessons. Because my earlier experience included no church habits and no regular working habits, I often rebelled against the strict demands of Christian Science. My first healing occurred even though I rebelled inwardly against the uncovering of some fault of character. Suffering from grippe, I had gone to a practitioner. During her treatment the pains did not cease, but as I walked out of the building I found myself entirely free.
