Christian Science is practical

Miriam Janice Magee

Christian Science is practical. Each step of the way reveals more of the precious gift of the truth, which Jesus promised "shall make you free" (John 8:32) and which Mrs. Eddy has so patiently and lovingly spelled out in the textbook.

Although I attended a Christian Science Sunday School from childhood through my college years, I learned the letter, not the spirit, never understanding the basic Principle of this Science, divine Love. I was obedient and morally upright, but I was also self-righteous and critical. I thought Christian Science was at fault because it did not work for me. I know now that I was a total stranger to that Love divine, before which all error dissolves into nothing.

Years passed by. Then one day I told a friend my family was at last going to attend church. She implored me to come to the Church of Christ, Scientist, which she attended, and I answered that that would be the last place I would ever go. She kindly persisted, patiently refuting each argument I brought up.
