Until I heard of Christian Science, fourteen years ago, I had never known what it was to be free from pain. My diseases were numerous and my suffering at times intense, so that I would be confined to my bed for months at a time. I had several physicians, but no encouragement was given that I would ever be well. That I was growing worse could plainly be seen. What was there to help me was the question. The last physician consulted said an operation was all that could help me, adding that my disease was of such a nature, that few lived through the operation.
This was the condition I was in when I first heard of Christian Science. Just through reading the "little book," Science and Health, I was healed; I had no other healer. Afterwards I went through a course of Christian Science instructions from a normal student of Mrs. Eddy.
Previous to my coming into Christian Science I was a member of the Episcopal Church. I had always loved the Bible, and it was my constant companion. For years I was seeking and praying for more light. My prayers were answered but not just as I expected. The realization of the one Mind, one Life, and one Power came to me as it never had before, and through this knowledge I have proved that God will destroy all the seeming ills of the flesh.
