I have been a traveling salesman for over twenty years and have gained the success that comes from close application to business. It had always been my one desire to know something definite about the creative Principle of the universe, and I had investigated along the lines of different religious creeds, but found nothing that gave me the evidence sought until I found it in Christian Science.
About four years ago I attended a Christian Science service for the first time. The deep interest manifested by all, and that something which seemed so real to all (except myself), created in me a desire to know more about a teaching which could command the interest of so many thinking people. After attending two services I purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and began its study, my whole desire being to gain a spiritual understanding, with no thought of physical healing. I continued the study for a period of about six months, at which time I was permanently healed of heart trouble, supposedly inherited from my ancestors, some of them having passed on from the disease. While I had tried everything known to materia medica, as well as change of climate and altitude, I had been told by the doctors that there was no cure for me.
I had been an inveterate user of tobacco in its varied forms since childhood, but through Christian Science I was enabled to stop its use at once, without any ill effects whatever. I have not used any for three years, and have no desire for it. In my every-day business I find that divine Principle, good, is perfect in every way, and when an understanding of Truth is applied, it brings harmony into every transaction. For the many blessings gained in Christian Science I thank God, and am grateful to Mrs. Eddy for the peace and prosperity that have come to me.— Los Angeles, Cal.
