The teachings of Christian Science have met my every need for some years now. It would be impossible for me to be too grateful for them. Before hearing of Science I was constantly under the care of doctors. Several remedies and treatments, including those of a well-known specialist, were tried, but none gave me lasting benefit. Not only was I miserably unhappy, but I was becoming a serious problem to those around me. My state of depression was like that of living under a heavy thundercloud. Jesus' healings, recounted in the Bible, were constantly in my thought. One day I prayed earnestly that I might be shown something that would heal me or else that I might die.
Shortly after this I was told about Christian Science by a complete stranger. I visited a Church of Christ, Scientist, where I learned that books on Christian Science could be borrowed from a Reading Room. Later, a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was lent to me. I read little at a time and slowly, but never shall I forget the light which gradually broke in on my consciousness when I was reading this textbook for the first time. Very shortly afterwards I came in touch with a practitioner, who proved to be a faithful friend and helper. I was soon happy and physically strong, and the troubled mental condition completely disappeared.
A rather demanding post was then offered me, which I accepted, although I had refused a similar position prior to my knowing of Christian Science. For the grand lessons learned during the period I held this post, I am most grateful. It enabled me to see God's government in every detail of daily life and His unfailing support of every righteous endeavor, even in the face of opposition. It was entirely through the teachings of Christian Science that the work proved successful.
