God is Love. In Him "we live, and move, and have our being." To dwell in the love of God and to have that Mind in us "which was also in Christ Jesus" was the way of salvation taught me from my childhood, and so for many years I tried to put into practice this truth. There came a stage in my experience when I was not satisfied with any explanation of suffering I had yet known, and I searched to find the way out on this subject. Having learned something of Christian Science teaching, I was attracted to attend a church service and learn first hand of its teaching.
I therefore attended my first meeting, looked up a Reading Room, and there read "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur, and articles in the Journal and the Sentinel. Almost at once I purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and began the reading of this textbook. Having completed the reading, and believing that this book set forth the great revelation of healing to mankind, I inquired for a practitioner and was kindly directed to one. Through the help of this one and my continued reading I had my first healing. I found it unnecessary to continue the wearing of glasses which I had worn almost continuously for ten years. Following this, my thought was healed of any reliance on osteopathy or chiropractic for relief from physical discomfort. Through my study I have also experienced a new freedom from ills resulting from changes of temperature and exposure to weather. I am most grateful for the above-named healings and for all others which I have experienced individually, and for those which I have known others to have through Christian Science. Science is my daily help. Our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, has said (Science and Health, p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."
I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church, for the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly and all the literature, the Reading Rooms, the practitioners, the members of the Board of Lectureship, and all those who are bringing this gospel of Truth to mankind.— Buffalo, New York.
