I wish to bear witness to my growing at-one-ment with unlimited good, God, through the study of Christian Science. I found this Science while seeking the highest type of religious teaching that I could find for my two small daughters. Upon reading the chapter on Prayer in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I knew I had found what I was seeking. I enrolled the children in the Sunday School the next Sunday, where they remained until they went away to college. I shall always be most grateful for the one who was instrumental in acquainting me with Christian Science and the girls' first alert, loving Sunday School teacher, who became our practitioner and friend, helping us wonderfully over many rugged places.

Within one month we had our first healing, that of eczema on the face of the younger daughter, who was a juvenile professional model and actress. Much growth and protection followed. We used our knowledge of Science constantly in business as well as in the home. It enabled me to take the children through grammar school at home and to lay a fine foundation for good citizenship. Both became members of The Mother Church upon reaching the required age. As Mrs. Eddy says on page vii of the Preface to Science and Health, "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."

We have been healed of sore throats, colds, and an attack of appendicitis. We have been helped, guided, and guarded in our lives and in our work many times, thanks to such statements of Mrs. Eddy's as the following from Science and Health (p. 454): "Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way."
