I would like to testify to the abundant...

From the September 1971 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I would like to testify to the abundant life Christian Science has revealed to me in fulfillment of Jesus' statement in John 10: 10,"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

Over fifty years ago a neighbor presented Christian Science to my mother when my sister, who was a very small child, had pneumonia. A Christian Science lecture was going to be given in the large auditorium of the city where we lived. When Mother arrived, there was only standing room in the back, but her eager thought accepted all that the lecturer said of God's great love and unfailing care for His children and of man's perfect spiritual status in the likeness of the divine Father. When she returned home, she found my sister healed.

I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School when I was two and a half, and my gratitude is very deep for the consecration and guidance of my Sunday School teachers. Through the application of the truths learned I was helped in my school studies, in planning and achieving a college career, and in finding employment upon graduation during the darkest time of the depression. My husband, whom I met in college, was not then a student of Christian Science, but he wholeheartedly accepted the divine revelation of Christian Science even before our marriage, and we were able to establish our home on a sure foundation.
