The
student of Christian Science is grateful for everything that has been provided for supporting his mounting footsteps and recognizes the great blessing which comes from the contemplation and singing of the hymns in the Christian Science Hymnal.
In
the Bible and in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we are taught that God is Love, divine Principle, and that He creates, guides, and governs His idea, man.
Those
attending a Christian Science service for the first time may have remarked that the only public prayer we have is a few moments of silent communion with God, followed by the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer alone, or of that prayer with its spiritual interpretation as given in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

I did not take up Christian Science for healing of physical aliments, but because friends of mine who were students of this Science seemed to me to have something that made them happier than I.
While I was lunching with a friend one day, he noticed from my careful selection of food that I was on a diet, and I told him that I was suffering from a stomach difficulty.
I should like to express my deep gratitude for a physical healing I had which came about through my gaining a better understanding of the fact that man is the child of God and is perfect.
I early learned in the Christian Science Sunday School to look to God as the one Father-Mother, the only physician, guide, protector; and this understanding of God's goodness has met my every need.
