-

GRATEFUL FOR THE TRUTH "About twelve years ago I became interested in Christian Science, not for physical healing, but out of curiosity. I had heard it and Mrs. Eddy ridiculed and condemned so often from church pulpits that I began to wonder what its teachings were, not thinking it would mean anything to me, as years ago I had given up all belief in religion, God included."


-

GRATITUDE AND PROGRESS "When I first came to Christian Science I was hungry, thirsty, starving for the Word of Life."
