When a girl I began studying Christian Science...

From the May 1955 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When a girl I began studying Christian Science literature. The beauty of the truth shone forth as a light, and I began to understand that man, made in God's image, expresses Him in spiritual qualities such as love, fearlessness, and so on. For over thirty years Science has never failed, when applied with spiritual understanding, to heal me of sickness, fear, and discord of any kind.

It has been my experience to prove many times that even though one lives in a remote place where there is no Church of Christ, Scientist, and where there are no neighbors interested in Science, one can still grow in the understanding and demonstration of Truth. At one time, however, a misplaced internal organ weakened me so much that I could not carry on any of my household duties. I was in the depths of despair and unhappiness because of this trouble, but I had no desire to turn to material means. After a month of constant study I was no better, and I asked my husband to take me to a city where I could have daily visits with a Christian Science practitioner.

A kind practitioner immediately discerned where my trouble lay. I was believing that there was something about man that needed healing, instead of praying for spiritual clear-sightedness that would enable me to see there is nothing imperfect about God's reflection.
