I would like to share some of the ways in which Christian Science has enriched my life with its intelligent and practical explanation of the Bible and strict adherence to the teachings of Christ Jesus.
Before learning of Christian Science I seemed to have no real direction or purpose in life. I was listless and dissatisfied. My mother began taking me to Christian Science Sunday School, and a teacher there gave me a pamphlet entitled "God's Law of Adjustment." I learned that God's laws are revealed to us in the Bible, and in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and that obedience to these laws frees us from all our problems. St. Paul said, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death" (Rom. 8:2). This teaching gave me more zest to know true life.
A throat condition that made it impossible to swallow anything but liquids was gone in about a day after a Christian Science practitioner alerted me to my true, spiritual nature. At this point I refused to admit that there was any power apart from God, good. I also realized the power of good and true thoughts from God. And, of course, the denial of matter or flesh as one's true identity is the essential part of any healing.
