When a kind friend sent me to a Christian Science practitioner for healing many years ago she caused me to find the religion which answered all my questions about God, and which has continued to bless me in countless ways.

My first visit with the practitioner lasted several hours, during which she patiently denied my steady rehearsal of woes. I was assured that the problems could not be real because God never made them. He "saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Gen. 1:31). I was urged to stop claiming that I was ill and unhappy and to claim my heritage of dominion over such evils as a child of God.

Finally hope and peace began to replace the misery I had endured, and I returned home with a song in my heart. A chronic stomach disorder was healed immediately. My general condition improved daily as I learned to study the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly.
