Shortly before I began the study of Christian Science twenty-four years ago, I had more problems than I thought one man could take care of. This led to a crisis in my human experience. I had been having some medical attention without receiving any benefit; so I decided to seek help from another doctor in whom I had much faith. I asked for a thorough examination. After the examination the doctor sat down at his desk and shook his head. I then asked him how long he thought I had to live, and his reply was most discouraging, especially to a young man.

However, six weeks earlier I had been introduced to a Christian Science practitioner, and even while I was in the doctor's office the thought of Christian Science comforted me and allayed my fears. So I left the doctor's office, walked a few blocks to the practitioner's office, and received my first Christian Science treatment. When I got home that night, I disposed of three different medicines that I had been taking.

My healing was slow, but it came when I was able to cleanse my consciousness of bitterness and resentment. I also had to learn that man, in reality the image and likeness of eternal Love, has no past in which he has experienced evil.
