A little over four years ago my mother passed away. I did not know which way to turn for comfort. From the Bible I could not get it; from my minister, nor from my church. I had been brought up in the Episcopal Church.
I had known of Christian Science since 1884 or 1885,—in fact at that time had been treated and been much benefited by Christian Science,—but would not study or look into the books which were given to me to read. As I was very near-sighted and had worn glasses for twenty-seven years, my excuse for going to a healer was my eyes. Not many weeks passed before I realized that there is no separation in Love. I shall never forget the perfect peace which came to me the day I decided to attend the Christian Science Church, four years ago this Easter. From that day to this I have never attended nor cared to attend any other church, and I am striving to have the Mind that was in Christ Jesus. As I gain line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little, of the Light and understanding of the Truth, more and more I want to express my love and gratitude for our dear Leader, who has made it possible for us, and shown us how to know God, and to know God aright is Life Eternal.— Chicago, Ill.
