With every passing day, I find myself more appreciative of the marvelous, selfless work done by Mrs. Eddy in presenting Christian Science to the world. This Science has encouraged me to study the Bible as nothing else could have done. It is wonderful to live each day in the knowledge that no matter what problem arises, we have an opportunity to prove what we know of the Christ, Truth.

When I was of college age, I applied for membership in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and I was given an opportunity by the examining board to relate some healings I had experienced in Christian Science. I remember saying that I had been reared in Science and had almost never been sick or hurt. It was pointed out to me that this fact in itself was quite a practical demonstration of Truth's power.

I am so grateful for our Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly and for the periodicals, including The Christian Science Monitor. They help me carry out Mrs. Eddy's counsel (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 210), "Beloved Christian Scientists, keep your minds so filled with Truth and Love, that sin, disease, and death cannot enter them."
