My gratitude for Christian Science knows no bounds

My gratitude for Christian Science knows no bounds. While studying the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and regularly attending the services of a branch church, I have proved many times that divine Love is always ready to meet the human need.

For some years I suffered with an illness that appeared to be of a serious nature, although the symptoms were not medically diagnosed. One day I read the following truth in the textbook (p 463): "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." The error was obstinate. It was fear causing the sickness. I then went to a Christian Science practitioner and requested treatment through prayer. The better understanding of God as divine Love that I gained brought me my complete freedom three years later. During the period when I received Science treatment, I was also healed of chronic constipation, which I had had since my youth. Also I was healed at this time of colic of the gallbladder and kidneys. It was a complete healing.

I recognized that God is Life and that I am in reality the image and likeness of God. "For in him we live, and move, and have our being," as it says in the Bible (Acts 17:28).
