My first healing in Christian Science ...

Robert F. Hull

My first healing in Christian Science lifted me out of much suffering and on to a better life. I had low blood pressure, and I dreaded the summers because the symptoms were aggravated at that time. I had been going to different doctors, but had gained no relief. Then I went to my family doctor, who, after giving me all kinds of tests, said I was all right organically but that I needed to stop worrying, and I would have to find the way to do that.

So all that week on the road —I was traveling at the time— I prayed to God to lead me to the right means; and as I was approaching home on Friday night it came to me to try Christian Science. As soon as I got in, I called a Christian Science practitioner and made an appointment for Saturday morning. I spent a very pleasant two hours with him, and as I was about to leave, he said I had something to do. I asked him what it was, and he said I should obtain a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and read it and come back to see him the next Saturday.

I went to the nearest Christian Science Reading Room and bought the book and spent every evening reading it. The terms were foreign to me, and I seemed to understand nothing of what I was reading. But I thought that if I became familiar with its phraseology, I would be able to get something out of it; so I persevered, for I wanted to get well.
