When quite a child, I often thought over the second record of Creation in Genesis, and wondered how, if God were all-powerful, evil ever crept into existence. I could not become interested in the Scriptures, and think this must have been my stumbling-block. I was not reared in any faith, but am of Jewish extraction. I attended different churches, and was allowed to think for myself. I had no definite belief or idea of God, but did believe in goodness and truth.
After my marriage, my health failed, I lost my mother, and one thing after another proved to me that human love and help could not prevent suffering. It was then that the light of Christian Science burst upon my darkened vision and commenced to scatter the mists of sense and self. I had found the Light wherein was no darkness at all. The Bible became a delight. I found that God was of purer eyes than to behold iniquity, that evil was only the belief of the absence of Good. We were visiting New York for my health, when a relative who had been healed by Christian Science came to tell me of her own healing, and to ask me to try he treatment. Her first words about it were, "They believe that 'God is love.'" This was like balm to my troubled sense. She called on Saturday, and I went with her the following Monday, and was given treatment by one who became our teacher. From then until now (over three years ago), neither my little son nor myself have taken a drop of medicine. I went back to my home in the South, a well woman, and so filled with joy that my cup ran over. I had our precious text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which I would study far into the night, and get up the next morning as bright and fresh as a healthy child. Formerly, most of my mornings were spent in bed.
We have been living in New York for the past year, and have had many beautiful demonstrations.
