I am very grateful that I can lift my voice in thanksgiving and praise to God for Christian Science. For eighteen years I have been the constant beneficiary of its benevolent healing influence on my life.
For a number of years I was a member of a so-called orthodox church and endeavored to live according to its teachings; but in due season there came a parting of the ways, for I recognized that its teaching taught me that God is Life, but that I must die to know God.
I was dissatisfied and unhappy, so I ceased for a year or more to attend church of any kind or to take part in any church activities. Then Christian Science was presented to me through the testimony of a little child in the public schools, where I was employed at that time. The presentation was made in a few simple statements, but they were sufficient to awaken in consciousness the possibility that Christian Science might be the way to know and understand God aright; and I am happy to say I have found this to be true.
