Christian Science has brought me inexpressible good. It was not for the purpose of gaining a physical healing that I first sought Christian Science, but to be healed of mental depression, the basis of which was, for the most part, the belief that God permitted evil to occur. I had searched for a long time to find an explanation of God which might help me. I sought first in the church to which I then belonged, and later in other avenues, but nowhere did I find help until I came to Christian Science. Ever since my childhood it had been impossible for me to believe in what the church taught about Christ Jesus, and when I was confirmed it troubled me greatly that I could not believe the teaching of the church. My concern was due partly to the fact that my father was a minister in that church.
When I read for the first time, on page 20 of "Unity of Good" by Mary Baker Eddy, that God does not know evil, it seemed as if everything in the world was changed for me. While it still took some time before the mental depression from which I had suffered wholly disappeared, the healing began at that moment. I have reason every day to thank God for Christian Science, and could not even imagine life without this blessed teaching.
Christian Science has healed me when sickness has tried to enter in, has helped me to find harmony in place of inharmony, and also to find supply.
