Christian Science came to me rather late in life....

Christian Science came to me rather late in life. Yet it seems long ago that I was a chain-smoking, nervous wreck, always stumbling from one illness to the next, always miserable and without friends.

I was self-employed, because it seemed easier than keeping a job; I eked out a very poor living. When I found myself in unbearable pain because of what was diagnosed as incurable arthritis, I thought I could not take it any longer. At that point I remembered that one of my steady customers was a Christian Science practitioner. I mustered enough hope to feel she might be able to do something for me, so I called her. Within a few minutes after her arrival I was completely free of the painful symptoms of arthritis. I could walk and work again. I asked for another Christian Science treatment and had again an instantaneous healing of an ulcer that had troubled me for a long period, and other digestive troubles. I told this practitioner I was curious to find out what she did and how. She promised to bring me a book that would let me find out for myself. This proved to be Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

Progress was very slow indeed, because I was reluctant to admit to myself how many undesirable character traits had to be overcome. When I attended a service in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, for the first time, I was so impressed by the joyous friendliness of the congregation. I wished I could achieve at least in a small degree what I admired in them. I received most welcome help with my study from some of these church members. They have remained loving and faithful friends over the years, for which I am most humbly grateful.
