Prior to my introduction to Christian Science I had an operation to remove from my throat what was described medically as a ruptured benign tumor. Shortly after taking up the study of Science, I became aware that I was manifesting the same physical symptoms as had been evidenced before.

I prayed earnestly to know God's direction. As a very new student of Science, I didn't have a working understanding of what constituted a treatment; but I did know I needed help to lessen the fear that nearly dominated my thinking. I felt divinely led to the local Christian Science Reading Room and there had a talk with the attendant on duty. Her spoken and unspoken expression of Love's provision of goodness and blessing led me to ask her for the encouragement I needed so much.

Her guidance and support brought my first real appreciation of this Science, the ultimate Christianity. I began to glimpse the spiritual nature of man, made in the image and likeness of God. I experienced a growing awareness of His loving care. I prayed to see there could be no sensation, no pain, no anything in the material sense called matter; that, more than words, God, good, is all-presence, and there is no other activity or power.
