When Christian Science came into my life, I was at a low ebb. An attending physician had informed me that I could expect no more than a life of invalidism. A severe surgical operation, designed to liberate me from acute bodily disorders, had left me shocked, nervous, and more broken in health than before. I was taking much medicine, including one kind to improve my heart action, and was also giving myself injections twice a week to allay violent symptoms of a periodically recurring difficulty.
After buying a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I gulped its contents hungrily. Every waking hour was spent with this book. Such a new and beautiful outlook was presented to me that I found myself fearing that it was too wonderful to be the truth.
I read Science and Health through; then put it aside while I turned to my Bible to study carefully each of the four Gospels, which I thought I already knew very well. But this time as I read and pondered them, an entirely new light was thrown upon Jesus' works and teachings. I was deeply inspired and encouraged with what I found and was convinced that Science and Health contained the truth Jesus had practiced. Also I felt that it could give me what I needed for recovery.
