For many years I was a member of an orthodox church, but its teachings failed to satisfy me. I was reaching out for a religion more in line with the teachings of Jesus, and my prayers were answered when I went to the public library and picked up a book, apparently at random. The book I picked up was Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I took it home and read it right through, and then knew that what I had been looking for was here indeed.

I had never before heard of Christian Science and did not know whether there was a church in the district, but it was as though God guided me to it. The caretaker there directed me to the Reading Room. The attendant in the Reading Room talked to me lovingly about Christian Science, and I started to attend the church services and to study the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly. I am now a member of that branch Church of Christ, Scientist.

I shall always be grateful to the practitioner who helped me to understand more of this wonderful teaching. My life had been filled with many fears. The illumination of the Bible and the teaching of God's dear love and healing laws removed my fears. I told the practitioner I had suffered from constipation all my life. But she made it clear that this was a false belief that matter governed me instead of Mind, God. I felt free immediately to throw away all my medicine and have not taken any since, and am well.
