I have been healed of so many things by studying and practicing the teachings in that remarkable book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by the Leader of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy. Having been a student of the Science of Christ now for many years, always relying on God and His law for healing, I put the following experience on record, trusting it may help others.
About nine years ago, I lived alone in our old family home. My first realisation that something was very wrong with me was on finding myself standing in the kitchen with a jug of boiling water in my hand and not knowing what I intended doing with it. Similar incidents had been happening for quite a while, but it was the first time I was worried by it and questioned it.
Transportation difficulties had kept me from attending church services, but now I commenced avoiding people and stopped answering the telephone. Yet I did one thing that I now consider was a life-saving habit: I continued to read the Bible Lesson, found in the Christian Science Quarterly, as well as I could. I might forget what I had read soon after, but in a simple way it was my daily prayer.
