Sarah Margaret Engelhardt

When I first began relying on Christian Science, I was smoking cigarettes. I had learned to love God enough to not want to smoke anymore, but I was unable to stop. While I was seeing a Christian Science practitioner for an altogether different problem, the practitioner, in his prayer for me, understood my identity to be so completely separate from anything unlike God that when I left his office I never wanted to smoke again. And I haven't smoked since this healing occurred in 1969. How grateful I am for the dedicated work of the Christian Science practitioners!

Through gratitude for this healing, I applied and became a member of both The Mother Church and a branch church near my home.

In the Bible we read (Rev. 10:8, 9): "Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."
