My interest was drawn toward Christian Science because of two healings I witnessed—one of blindness, the other of organic trouble. Before this, I had condemned Christian Science, because I believed that it was based on spiritualism or some peculiar cult. My first attendance at a Christian Science church service proved how greatly mistaken I had been.
While reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I gained freedom from a heart condition of many years' standing. Continuing to read every day thereafter, I was healed of many other discords. The transformation was very noticeable to my friends and neighbors.
After a few weeks of reading the textbook, I was called upon to choose what course should be taken following a serious accident. I chose Christian Science help. The fear of bleeding to death was overcome through the help of a Christian Science practitioner. The healing of the wound was a little slow, for the reason that I had been believing in it as a reality. Being a newcomer to Christian Science, I found this lesson to be most valuable. It really was the beginning of spiritual progress for me.
