I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science. About ten years ago I was led to take up its study for the healing of a spinal trouble that I had had since childhood. Although temporary relief was given me through the medical profession, I had been told that was the most I could expect.
I knew of Christian Science through a friend who often left her books in my home, and although I read them some, I understood very little. I had frequently attended Christian Science church services and enjoyed them, but there were doubts in my mind that it was what I wanted until one day, when I was going to a chiropractor for a spinal adjustment, the thought came to me to try Christian Science. The thought stayed with me all day until I was sure that was what I wanted.
That night I told my husband my decision to give Christian Science a fair trial. He agreed, and purchased Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy the very next day. I felt pleased to own this book, but examined it only briefly that night. However, the next morning, after having had a very uncomfortable night, I settled down to read the Preface and the chapter on Prayer. The truth of the words unfolded to me as it had never done before. I was completely lost in the beauty and simplicity of this teaching, when I realized I felt free from all pain.
