Not physical healing but a seeking for peace brought me into a consciousness of the harmony and beauty of Truth. I desired relief from a sense of sorrow and hopelessness arising from the loss of a husband and an only child. My father, mother, and half my relatives being physicians, I had great faith in materia medica, but in the hour of need our god had failed us
Thoroughly tired of this world and quite ready for the next, I turned to Science and Health to see if I could find any light on the subject of the life hereafter. I was startled to find that it teaches there is no death, and though incredulous, determined to clear the mist. I studied and pondered till from the dream of happiness awaiting me in death, I awoke to the glorious reality of life eternal. In the study of Life I found the Holy Comforter, and such peace, happiness, and calmness that I wanted everybody to come, eat, drink, and be filled.
