I first heard of Christian Science the year I entered college. A copy of Science and Health by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy, was given to me at that time with the loving assurance that I would find the study of the book helpful in my college work. Little did I realize then how very much it would mean to me in the years ahead.
Many years elapsed before Christian Science became a part of my everyday life. To acknowledge with sincere gratitude the many blessings experienced by my family and me is the pleasant purpose of this testimony.
The one who gave me the book became my wife, and I owe much to her loving help and patience when the going seemed rough and discouraging. During those early years of study and application of Christian Science to human problems, I was learning the value of steadfastness. On page 261 of Science and Health we read, "Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts." I frequently refer to this passage for encouragement and inspiration.
