Patrick Henry Arland

It is nearly twenty-six years now since Christian Science became my way of Life. I turned to it not for physical healing but for logical answers to my questions concerning God and man. Although I had been active in several orthodox churches, I could not accept the concept of God as not only loving, but also vengeful, not only omnipotent, but also competing on no better than even terms with a mythical evil personality or power known as the devil.

But Science brought healings and answered all my questions. An acute case of ptomaine poisoning was overcome with the help of a Christian Science practitioner, who told me that there is no reason to fear, for man is ever in the presence of God. I was at my post the following morning without having missed a day of work.

Chronic severe headaches disappeared, never to return. One day as I was starting out on my daily round as a salesman, accompanied by what was almost an ever-present headache, I decided that I had had enough of this condition and that I was not doing my employer or myself any good by continuing in this way. I went to a Christian Science Reading Room, intending to remain there until the condition was healed.
