The Truth was first mentioned several years ago by an aunt interested in Science. There were no physical plagues to be rid of, only an array of vices and ambitions which ensnare the worldly minded, with an aversion for anything of a religious tendency. There must have been an inward yearning for a something beyond the glitter and glimmer of the false gods. At any rate, the theory appealed to me, and had the ring of truth.
Then came an earnestness to know more of this (to me) new God. The text-book, Science and Health, did not unravel its treasure at a single perusal. I read, re-read, studied, and pondered, and afterwards gratefully realized that the author had admonished her readers thus to study and ponder. The result has been glorious though the growth was slow. Every step has been divinely natural. False pleasures laid off and fruits of the Spirit laid on. Though separated from Scientists and seemingly alone in the race, the voice of Truth has carried me through the warfare, and never doubting, to-day I stand firm and strong upon the rock,—Christian Science!
My entire family of husband, mother, brothers, and sisters are embracing this wonderful Science, proving that a marvelous cure in the physical realm is not necessary to awaken our dear ones to the domain of Spirit. Evincing earnestness and sincerity of purpose, faithfulness and patience never are unrewarded.
