Christian Science was presented to me through the beautiful example of a life lived in accordance with divine Principle. It was a revelation to me to watch this beloved friend in her contacts with others. Realizing that my friend had something I did not possess, I wanted to find out what it was. She presented me with Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and I was soon embarked on a delightful search for an understanding of its teachings.
I read on page 323: "When the sick or the sinning awake to realize their need of what they have not, they will be receptive of divine Science, which gravitates towards Soul and away from material sense, removes thought from the body, and elevates even mortal mind to the contemplation of something better than disease or sin."
Immediately conditions in my experience changed drastically for the better. It soon became clear that a wholehearted acceptance of just a few of the truths of God and His universe was bearing good fruit. How happy I was, and am, to search for and find a deeper understanding so that I may conscientiously apply these priceless ideas!
