Richard W. Proctor

I should like to express my gratitude for the many proofs I have had of the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science.

My first healing came about soon after I took up the study of this Science. For over twenty years I had been a very heavy smoker, but after I had studied the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for a few days, this habit entirely left me. I shall never cease to be grateful for this, my first healing in Christian Science, because it proved to me at the very outset the truth of the saying of Jesus (John 8:32), "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The little understanding of the truth which I had gained from my study of Science had indeed set me free from the bondage of this habit, to which I had been subject for so long.

Christian Science has entirely changed my thinking. It has changed my concept of man as material, subject to sin, sorrow, and suffering, to man as spiritual idea, God's child, made in His image and likeness, subject only to good and reflecting Godlike qualities.
