I am so deeply grateful for Christian Science and what it has done for me and my loved ones that I can wait no longer to tell others of our many blessings. I had learned a little about this Science in a brief attendance at Sunday School when I was a little girl, but I strayed from it through the years.
Following my marriage, I was disappointed at having no children. After ten years of longing for a child, I was so miserable that I did not care to go on living. Then I realized that I should turn to Christian Science, and I asked a practitioner to work for me. One day, while I was pondering the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly, it was as though a flash of light surrounded me, and the words (Luke 22:42), "Not my will, but thine, be done,'" came to me. I realized that I had been praying for my way, not God's way. Then I humbly yielded thought to Him, knowing that I could and would find happiness in Christian Science, even without a child. In a little while we were blessed with a baby boy.
Three years later a baby girl was born to us. When she was three months old she became desperately ill with what I think would probably have been diagnosed as cerebrospinal meningitis. She seemed so near passing that I was in agony with fear, but I was ready to trust God alone. Work in Christian Science was taken up, but for a while there was little improvement. I became discouraged, but never faltered in my desire to rely entirely on Truth.
