From the April 1926 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Nearly seven years ago I had the privilege of learning of Christian Science, and since that time I can say my life has been completely changed. It is very true that we are transformed mentally and physically in proportion to the renewing of our thoughts. Great calm and peace have taken the place of restlessness and worry. Following this change of thought I have been healed, without special treatment, of chronic eczema and varicose veins. After a short time I could leave off the bandages which I had been accustomed to wear on my leg; and, to the great astonishment of my family, I walked without becoming tired.

I came to Christian Science without hesitation, without restriction, although before knowing this great truth I believed that I could never free myself from traditional religious beliefs; now I know that I am free and liberated. "Error falls only before the sword of Spirit," as Mrs. Eddy says on page 37 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

Old age and death no longer trouble me. Knowing now, as I do, that Life is God, that "man in Science is neither young nor old" (ibid., p. 244), I rejoice in understanding what our beloved Leader also writes (p. 246): "Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness;" so that what I formerly looked upon as loss is now gain, each day bringing a little more spiritual understanding, a little more of the divine nature.
