My written gratitude for Christian Science is long overdue

My written gratitude for Christian Science is long overdue. Great joy has been ours for over forty years. In the face of a variety of problems, we have always found the positive, spiritual, healing solution.

When I first became a student of this religion, an experienced Christian Scientist offered me some excellent advice: "Teach your children to practice Christian Science for themselves." We followed this admonition and found our children not only loved to prove the scriptural and scientific truths for themselves, but were also happy to help each other, their friends, and even their parents! Consequently, they grew up with a love for Christian Science, and spiritual understanding continued to develop for them through the years. Now, as adults, they are active in their branch churches, joyously seeing their children living and proving these same eternal truths.

The first healing I recall in our family was of our older daughter when she was a toddler. One day when I was busy attending my younger baby, the toddler was alone in the kitchen. Suddenly she cried out and I saw she had climbed up on a table and opened a wall cabinet. There she had found a can of fluid used to unstop drainpipes, and had tried to clean her teeth with it. The inside and outside of her mouth appeared to be burning. The label on the can warned "poison."
