A great blessing came into my life, seven years ago when I was healed from a serious affection of the lungs and other physical troubles by reading the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. Ever since, this book, the most precious of all I know, has been my daily guide. I drew from it this truth, that God is Life, Truth, and Love. This was to me a great possession, for I saw that it is only our lack of spiritual understanding which seemingly separates us from all that is perfect. God, as revealed in Christian Science, has been to me an ever-present help in every trouble. In overcoming the trials and worries of each day, also temptations, bad habits, and disappointments. I have striven to look away from imperfection to perfection everywhere within and without, by realizing that these are but the suppositions of error, that they do not really exist, else Truth could not dispel them. The realization of God and His perfect creation taught me how to overcome the sense of injustice, wrong, and blame. Severe headaches, to which I had been subject for long years, I lost entirely when the understanding dawned upon me that matter has no life, and therefore no sensation; that to admit it means to deny God and not give Him the honor due: for if we attach life and power to matter, this works out in its results, in sin, disease, and death.
When I look back upon these seven years there seem to have been many struggles against error, but I am most grateful to say that Christian Science has helped me through them all. — Dresden A., Germany
