Because I am so grateful for...

Because I am so grateful for Christian Science, I should like to tell how it came into my experience.

Knowing very little about Christian Science but desiring to help some relatives whose older child was seriously ill, I went into a Christian Science Reading Room one day to get some literature on the subject. I told the librarian about the situation, and she was very loving. When I left the Reading Room, I took with me a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which I had borrowed from the lending library.

My relatives did not accept Christian Science, but I myself continued to read Science and Health. I was reluctant to lay the book down. I did not understand all that I read, but I did understand a statement from the chapter on Prayer (p. 2), "God is Love." As a child I had heard a lot about a God of wrath and vengeance, but I had not been able to accept such a concept; so the truth that "God is Love" struck a responsive chord in my thinking, and I wanted to learn more about it.
