"THE GREATEST
BLESSING"
However
indifferent my attitude toward Christian Science when first
it was brought to my attention, I could no longer ignore it
when it healed me instantaneously of a sickness of which
medical aid had failed to relieve me. This seemed very
curious to me, so I borrowed the textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, to
learn what had healed me; and I shall never forget the joy
and surprise I experienced when I read that beautiful first
chapter, on Prayer. It was not, as I had thought,
ridiculous, nor superstitious, —
not even strange: to me it was simply the revealing of the
truth of which sometimes in my longing to know God I had
caught a faint glimpse, but which I had never before been
able to discern clearly. I have been studying Christian
Science and putting it into practice, so far as understood,
for about seventeen years; and I can truthfully testify that
it is the greatest blessing in my life.
