With love and gratitude to Mrs. Eddy...
With love and gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for her unfaltering faith and love, I wish to take this opportunity to express my thankfulness for Christian Science. It has been the only physician in our home for the last thirty-five years. During those years every problem, whether mental, physical, or financial, was met with the true understanding of man given to us in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
I was born into a Christian Science family and had the wonderful opportunity of Sunday School attendance. When quite young I was completely healed of earache, which had kept me out of school for long periods at a time. From that day I have never experienced this condition, and throughout the remainder of my school and university careers I was seldom absent from school. I have been protected from experiencing most of the so-called children's disease and have always been a picture of health.
While at the university, I found Christian Science to be a great help to me in my studies. I was privileged to take advantage of the V-12 Navy College Training Program. During the years spent in this training, my future as a naval officer looked pretty doubtful at times, but with the loving and consecrated help of a practitioner all the mortal mind suggestions of my studies being difficult for me completely vanished, and I was enabled to receive my diploma and my naval commission. I knew that man can never be separated from God, and therefore he is always in his right place. I knew too that, as Mrs. Eddy says in our textbook on page 591, man is "the compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spiritual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind."
