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.
