In Isaiah we read (9:2), "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."

The great light of Christian Science came to me over thirty years ago. After the birth of our second baby, complications set in, and the members of the medical profession who were consulted could do nothing. One night I felt the end was near; the burden of life seemed so very heavy that I would have gladly laid it down but for the thought of leaving our seven-year-old girl and the baby. The doctors said she was a blue baby and could not possibly live.

Being in hospital away from my family, I was in deep despair. However, some years previously Christian Science had been offered to me by my mother, but I had not accepted it. This night I called on God and asked Him where He was, and if He could not help me for the children's sake. The thought came to me, "Try Christian Science." For a fraction of a second, I was stunned. Again the insistent thought, and again I argued against it; then it came the third time. How could I contact anyone? What could I do?
