From childhood, living had been one long, dark ordeal for me. There seemed to be no logic to life, and only occasionally was there happiness in it for me. It was as though I were on the outside and looking in the window at all the people who were really living.

My husband and his family were students of Christian Science; and since I had no religion at all, I attended church with my husband, although I did not really listen. Our children had been enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School for almost ten years before it became clear to me that I too could learn of God and of man in His likeness. When I wholeheartedly devoted my time to the study and application of the truths I found in the writings of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, much light came, and soon I was happier than ever before.

Many healings have resulted, including that of the smoking habit and of social drinking. The healing of these habits came through my desire for church membership, which, I knew, would help me to grow in the understanding and application of Christian Science.
