Because I owe so very much to God, the Giver of all good, to Christ Jesus, our Exemplar, and to Mrs. Eddy, our Leader, I wish to express my profound gratitude for the abundant good that has come to me since I became a student of Christian Science.
While my gratitude for the physical healings I have received is boundless, I am even more thankful for the spiritual rebirth I am experiencing and the understanding I am gaining of the true meaning of compassion. I am grateful for every activity of the Christian Science movement, for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church, for class instruction, for the privilege of attending the yearly association meeting, for branch church service in various capacities, and for the help I have received from our splendid practitioners.
When Science was first presented to me, I had not been in a church of any kind for several years. I had no understanding of God and of man's relation to Him, and I had not the slightest interest in religion. Today, without Christian Science to guide me in my daily life, existence would be meaningless.
