At one time it became necessary for me to change completely my line of work and place of living. After beginning my new work, and while living among total strangers, I became, to material sense, very ill. The people with whom I was staying called a physician, who, for two months, tried everything that his teaching and experience from his standpoint could do; and I was rather worse than better. Then I got up out of bed, and looked up a Christian Science practitioner. Three days I had treatment in Christian Science, and then went back to work, continuing the treatments and gaining health and strength steadily, until every vestige of that sickness was destroyed. I was also healed of sorrow at the same time.
But the work of the Christian Scientist did even more than this, for it brought me a better understanding of man's true being and relationship to his Maker, God, and gave me a desire to work more faithfully to gain my full salvation, my birthright as God's image and likeness.— Washington, D. C.
