My gratitude for Christian Science...

Edna Pierce Chapman

My gratitude for Christian Science is boundless. I turned to it for the healing of a physical difficulty and for peace of mind, because I had reached the point where I could not sleep at all and could hardly eat. My husband wanted me to see a doctor, but I told him that I would try a Christian Science practitioner, and if I was not helped, I would see a doctor. I took the name of a practitioner from those listed in The Christian Science Journal and telephoned to her.

I shall never forget the blessed relief and encouragement that her words gave me. That night I went to bed and slept for the first time in several weeks. The complete healing took time, for I had to learn many things; but never again did I feel the fear and despair that had gripped me for so many days. My gratitude goes out to the practitioner, whose work accomplished this healing and who kept me studying until I could see for myself the wonders of this good way of Life.

Our three children have had great protection and consistent good health since my fear for them was lifted by these words from the Christian Science textbook. Science and Health by our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy (p. 463): "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." I could see the truth that the children were spiritual ideas without "a single element of error." Behavior and disagreeable personality habits have been beautifully improved and healed.
