What a wonderful blessing to have a glimpse of the truth Christian Science teaches! Some years before I began its study I often wondered if there were not a better explanation of life than I had learned. I thought, Surely someday we will discover the truth about everything. Little did I know that Christ Jesus' prayer had been answered (John 14: 16), "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter," and that the Comforter, which he said "shall teach you all things" (v. 26), had been revealed by God in divine Science. How grateful I am for the purity, vision, devotion, and perseverance expressed by Mrs. Eddy, which enabled her to discover the law of God, Christian Science.

Over twenty years ago, because of disappointments and frustrations and with a deep desire to become acquainted with God, I began an earnest search for a satisfying answer in religion. I telephoned a Christian Science Reading Room one day, asking to be sent some literature. I was deeply impressed by what I received, especially the testimonies of healing in a Sentinel.

Soon afterward I purchased a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Understanding little I read, and desiring to know the fuller meaning of the words, I purchased a dictionary the same day. This was the start of my becoming acquainted with God.
