From childhood, questions loomed...

From the September 1918 issue of The Christian Science Journal


From childhood, questions loomed up in my thought as to the why and wherefore of human existence, followed later by a firm conviction that something must be radically wrong; for conditions nowhere seemed in any sense ideal, as each one innately desires to have them. I frequently questioned those who had made a careful study of the Bible, and I studied considerably myself in quest of a solution to the problem, but the result was always peculiarly unsatisfying. This state of mental unrest was completely healed after I took up the study of Christian Science, which answered every question and relieved my mind of further doubt. For this my joy and gratitude are unbounded.

I have learned there is no problem in life too complex for this Science to solve; for it is indeed the Science of being, or the truth. The lessons gleaned from the study of the Bible in connection with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, have been invaluable to me and have supplied my every need. Through this study I have come to understand the wonderful words spoken by Jesus, and in consequence, his life and works, as I never understood them before. The passages that had seemed entirely contradictory were so illumined to my thought and made so comprehensive, that I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that the message in Science and Health was the revelation of the Christ, Truth, to this age.

Physical disorders have disappeared as naturally as darkness gives place to light, when I have been able to see, metaphysically, that the so-called mental and physical condition was not true and never had been, because God's law of harmony had not ceased to act for a moment; therefore, whatever indicated that it had, was merely a false sense which needed to be corrected. This correction of wrong thinking by spiritual understanding, or the truth, accomplishes the healing.
