I wish to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to God for the many blessings I have received since becoming a student of Christian Science. To Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, to Mary Baker Eddy, our revered Leader, and to the early students who in their faithfulness helped to establish this Science of Christianity, I owe my enduring thanks.
Christian Science was presented to me at a time when I was very much discouraged because I had not found a religion that I felt I could embrace. The one who presented this Science to me spoke at length of the wonderful testimonies of healing given at the Wednesday testimony meetings in Churches of Christ, Scientist. I was not interested in these healings, because I had always enjoyed excellent health. However, as the conversation continued, my interest arose.
Later a friend and I attended a Christian Science church service, and there we met a former neighbor who was a member of the church. She lovingly explained the study of the Bible and of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. We purchased these books and started a daily study of the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly.
