It is seven years since I first heard of Christian Science and its wonderful textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. During these years one demonstration after another has taken place in our home. Smoking and drinking have wholly disappeared, together with all that goes with them; also the use of profane language. Before I came to this blessed truth, I had tried to overcome these things, but with no definite result. I have had wonderful help through Christian Science practitioners. Once one of my feet pained me very much; I could scarcely walk. I tried electricity, massage, drugs, but got no better. I then wrote to a Christian Scientist for help and was healed.
Lately I had an experience in my daily work of the power and presence of divine Mind. While I was cleaning a brick mold from cement some of the wet cement got into my eye. I thought I must ask for help; but there came as a voice from "the secret place of the most High" the thought, Now is the time to lean wholly on God. So I remained in my place and repeated silently over and over again: One God, one power; the only power there is is from God; all else is unreal. Then I began to finish my task. In a while my eye was well, and I rejoiced at having been able to make this demonstration. I cite Mrs. Eddy's words from Science and Health (p. 494): "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."
Can I be but grateful to have known in some degree Christian Science? I feel a great debt of gratitude to all the practitioners who have had such wonderful patience when we called for help. Our little boy, when one year old, was very ill, but was healed the same day I telephoned to a practitioner.
