Because of the great good Christian Science...

From the September 1946 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Because of the great good Christian Science has brought into my life during the past twenty-eight years, I wish to express my deep gratitude for it and share my experience with others.

I was suffering from a nervous breakdown due to anxiety over the illness of my mother and to my inability, as a result, to finish my college education. All I had heard of Christian Science was that it healed. I found myself desiring to investigate it, and after talking with a friend who was somewhat interested, I sought out a Reading Room and purchased the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. At first I did not grasp the truths it contained, but with persistent study the understanding began to come. So complete was my healing that I was able to assume the entire care of my mother and our home. I gained much help from the fact, learned through Christian Science, that one cannot suffer for doing good or expressing love. Later, when my mother passed on, I was able to rise above the sense of grief, separation, and loss.

Since that time I have relied entirely upon Christian Science to solve my problems. Some have been worked out alone with God, and others with the aid of practitioners. I have witnessed healings of asthma, hemorrhage, growths, heart trouble, rheumatism, a sprained ankle, extreme shyness, and many other troubles. I have been protected in two automobile accidents and have had lost articles restored. Grateful as I am for all these demonstrations, it is the spiritual progress that each has brought that is the greater blessing.
