Years ago I desperately needed to be guided out of an unhappy relationship that had so troubled me, I was ill with complex physical difficulties. This finally landed me in the hospital. I had a small business of my own that was barely making a profit. Feeling the futility of the whole thing, I signed myself out of the hospital and went home by taxi.
On arrival I found that the piano tuner, who was a Christian Scientist, had left a copy of the Christian Science Sentinel on the piano bench. Knowing almost nothing about this religion, I read the Sentinel and felt a strong desire to know more. I telephoned the piano tuner and learned that the nearest Church of Christ, Scientist, was twenty-five miles away. I immediately became a regular attendant at the services and began to study Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I was hungering and thirsting after righteousness and did, indeed, "take the little book . . . and eat it up" (Rev. 10:8, 9).
The unhappy relationship was dissolved harmoniously, and the physical disorders were healed. As I applied the truths I was learning to my business, the business quickly began to prosper and to meet my needs abundantly. The business is still successful right up to the present time, some twenty-six years later.
