It was four years ago that I began the study of Christian Science. My home was discordant and I was very unhappy; indeed, I was so nervous that my friends feared insanity. I had suffered from a serious accident and a prolonged illness, but my trouble was really mental. I felt that I was homeless and friendless, but, as Mrs. Eddy tells us, I found the vacuum was "already filled with divine Love" (Science and Health, p. 266). With the first treatment in Christian Science I was healed of fear, and realized how useless were all human dependencies.
I was left to support myself, but Love always met my needs, and I reentered my former profession of teaching among kind friends and relatives. Many times I seemed to be the center of a mortal mind chaos, but Truth calmed the troubled waters. When my father passed on I knew there was no death or separation in divine Mind. I have been healed of malarial fever, bronchitis, a bad temper, as well as an unlovely disposition, and my sincere desire is that I may daily express and reflect more of Love. I am more profoundly thankful for Christian Science every day.— Sciota, Ill.
