"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, Pref., p. vii). I read this each day with unfailing joy—another day in which to express Truth, Life, and Love! In humble and fervent gratitude to God. I give my testimony, hoping it may help others as I have been helped by both articles and testimonies.

I have read and loved the Bible from childhood. I began attending a church because I loved the hear the organ music: I loved the beauty of the stained glass windows, and above all the quiet peacefulness; yet I knew always that I was seeking something. One day I read an article in a newspaper which said, "God is not a spirit, GodisSpirit." I pondered this but did not like it, for I thought. "Anyone can have spirit." Then a clear, reasoning thought came to me: "Yes. anyone can have God." I cried out aloud, "Yes, but how?" and the clear thought came again (John 14:6), "I am the way, the truth, and the life." I knew then that God was very near. I knelt down and asked Him to guide me.

I read my Bible each day as usual. Very soon I met a woman who asked me if I understood the Bible. I replied, "Of course." The woman smiled, showed me a copy of Science and Health. and asked if I would care to take a copy home with me. I read and read. Then began a warfare within; the chemicalization had indeed begun. I hated and loved the book in turn, but could not leave it. I knew I had found the truth when I read Mrs. Eddy's words in her Message to The Mother Church for 1902 (p. 4), "I again repeat, Follow your Leader, only so far as she follows Christ."
