OUT FROM THE DEPTHS

From the August 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I Would like to relate the story of my healing and conversion from Judaism to Christian Science, with the hope that it may benefit others of my ex-co-religionists.

I was brought up in the Jewish faith, an orthodox Jew. The first slight knowledge I obtained of Christianity was from reading the teachings of the Master at school. His commandments and example seemed so beautiful and charitable, contrasted with the "eye for an eye" creed I was accustomed to hear, that the strong impression they made on my youthful mind has never been effaced. It seemed as if some time I would accept Christianity, but it had never been presented in tangible shape.

When Christian Science was brought to my notice, I had been an invalid for twelve years, suffering continually from maladies that did not yield to medical treatment, among which were insomnia, asthma, enlargement of the spleen, chronic dyspepsia, deafness, and a wound of seventeen years' standing. I was continually drugging myself, only obtaining partial and temporary relief, until drugs failed entirely.
