Christ Jesus' promise of a more abundant life (see John 10:10) has certainly been fulfilled in my experience through the understanding of spiritual being. Christian Science is the way of Life, which leads out of the poverty of material sense into the abundance of spiritual good, and this good is available to all. As one recognizes his true selfhood as the expression of God, fear is removed and security experienced.

I am grateful for Christ Jesus, for Mrs. Eddy's love for God and man, which established the Christian Science movement, for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church, for class instruction, and for the privilege of having served as First Reader in a branch church.

Christian Science was brought to me through the loving effort of one who had been healed through it of blindness. At the time, I was in need of physical healing—I was in a sanatorium for tuberculosis—but I did not at once accept the precious gift. However, the seed sown bore its fruit sometime later, and the way out of error into Truth was begun. Mrs. Eddy tells us in the textbook, Science and Health (p. 162), "The effect of this Science is to stir the human mind to a change of base, on which it may yield to the harmony of the divine Mind."
