For nearly fourteen years Christian Science has been my constant help and guide. I first became interested in it through the healing of a friend after she had suffered years of ill-health and had had every type of medical advice. Her healing has been permanent, and she is now an active member in a branch church, at the present time holding the office of First Reader.
My own first healing, which occurred during my initial reading of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, was of constipation of long standing. These words on page 283 of the textbook were most helpful: "Mind is the source of all movement, and there is no inertia to retard or check its perpetual and harmonious action."
Through the years I have enjoyed a wonderful sense of health, glimpsing in some measure that health is an attribute of God, not a condition of body, and therefore is unchanging. Whenever suggestions to the contrary have come they have always been met by help from a practitioner or through my own understanding of Truth as taught in Christian Science.
