How thankful I am for the life and strength I have found in Christian Science. When it knocked at the door of my home I was ready and waiting. I had been a sufferer for years; in fact, I never knew what it was to feel well. My physicians could not agree as to what ailed me. I began to feel that I had every disease that mortals could have.
About six years ago I began to take morphine. For three years I took it in my stomach, and the physicians said I could not live any longer that way, so they bought me a hypodermic syringe, which I used for three years.
I have used as many as two bottles of morphine a week, or eight bottles a month, at fifty and some at sixty five cents. I also had to buy new syringes which cost a dollar, and sometimes I would have to buy two or three needles a month at twenty-five cents each. How much less it costs to serve God than matter.
I can never tell any one the hours of suffering and agony I spent.
Finally a Scientist came to my house and talked with me about Christian Science, and then left me to think it over. After two days' treatment I threw away my syringe, and in three months from the time I first saw this lady I was completely healed.
I am now as well as I ever was. Christian Science has taught me how to understand my Bible and has made it very plain to me.
I would not go back where I was a few months ago for all the world could give. When I told my doctor I was healed he said it was wonderful.
I have taken the opportunity to write this for the Journal, as it may be of benefit to others. I feel that I have not done my duty if I do not spread the Truth to others.
I can say truly that God is my helper, trusting in Him of whom shall I be afraid?
