I was a member of the Presbyterian Church and tried, or at least thought I did, to be a good woman. That is holding myself free from the so-called sins of the world, failing to realize that I was committing sin every day in my thoughts toward persons who I thought did not treat me right, holding the thoughts of malice, resentment, and self-righteousness.
I had been an invalid for ten years, adhering faithfully to materia medica but receiving no permanent relief.
At last I turned to Christian Science, which brought me up out of chaos and darkness into a useful life. But that is not to be compared to the beauties of it in giving me an understanding of my discordant mental state and how to overcome it.
I have gone through the mist and found God, divine Love, and learned that He is Love, and that I am one of His children.
Oh, what peace of mind and happiness that knowledge gave me! Everything looks beautiful and harmonious to me now.
With gratitude and love for our dear Mother, Mary Baker G. Eddy. One who is trying to be a faithful follower of her teachings.— Scranton, Pa.
