I came into Christian Science...

Stephen G. Jordan

I came into Christian Science because of a great desire for a true understanding of the teachings of Christ Jesus. I failed to find this after many years of being a soloist in different orthodox churches. One Sunday, when I was free from singing commitments, I decided to visit a Christian Science church.

As I entered the church auditorium from the foyer I hesitated, for a pleasant feeling of reverential awe came over me. As the service progressed I felt the truth radiating my whole being. Upon arriving home, I knew that I was expressing some of those truths revealed during the service, for both my little girls asked, "May we go with you next Sunday?"

The answer was a joyous Yes. Today I am a member of a branch church, as are my girls, now grown. We are actively engaged in church work, and my grandchildren are attending Sunday School.

During an epidemic in the city where I lived many years ago and shortly after coming into Christian Science, I was calling on a customer when I was stricken with extreme weakness and had to support myself on the desk in his office. A man who was present recommended that they lay me down.

My customer, whose sister is a Christian Scientist, remarked, "He will be all right."

My first thought was this: What do I know about Christian Science?

Then came the answer, You know that God, good, is all-power, all-presence, Love, and that you are His image and likeness; therefore no error in any form can interfere with His love for His children.

I clung to this truth until my consciousness was cleared enough for me to drive home. Upon arriving home, I turned to the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. After reading for some time I fell asleep, and upon awakening a few hours later, I found that I was completely healed.

During the years since my first healing. I have had many reasons for gratitude. I have received help in solving business, financial, and family problems in addition to numerous physical healings.

For the many sources of study and help given us by Mrs. Eddy, for the loving devotion and help of our practitioners, for class instruction and the opportunity to help others, I am humbly grateful.— Stephen G. Jordan, Blue Point, Long Island, New York.
