Heaven,
for which mankind has longed throughout the ages, is neither a far-off nor a present material habitation, but is a mental state in which harmony governs.
Humanity
need not turn to tranquilizing agents to secure peace and calm, for man's harmony, dignity, and dominion are established and remain forever undisturbed.

three thousand years ago the Israelites won a victory over the Philistines when a young shepherd boy, named David, faced the giant Goliath, the personification of destructive materiality, and brought him down to defeat and death with a sling and a stone.

A childhood free from the fear and experience of many so-called children's diseases, a home blessed with devoted parents, who received class instruction when I was a baby, instantaneous healings of measles, mumps, oak poisoning, burns, and a hand crushed in a heavy car door, also inspirational help in school examinations, protection and guidance, the overcoming of extreme nervousness when riding in a car, confidence replacing fear and self-consciousness when appearing before an audience, are some of the blessings that have been mine through Christian Science.
In common with many other students of Christian Science, I first opened the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, at the request of a friend.
While I did not take up the study of Christian Science for physical healing, or for the correction of negative thinking, healings and a more harmonious life have resulted.
It is with a heart filled with gratitude to God and to Mary Baker Eddy that I wish to tell of a healing which I had seventeen years ago through the study and application of Christian Science and the prayerful help of a Christian Science practitioner.
