I had never heard anything good of Christian Science until eighteen months ago, when a friend from Germany who had been healed visited me, and even then I was very much against it, thinking she had been healed only because it was her nerves from which she suffered. About four months later I began to look into Christian Science, and was persuaded to have absent treatment. Ever since I can remember I have always been ailing, never a year passing without my being under a doctor's care. My healing was slower than many, but I do not regret this, as I have grown spiritually. For over a year I have never touched medicine, during which time some very severe claims have been overcome, whilst before, a day never passed without my taking or applying some drug. When I commenced studying "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," I was quite alone, and if it had not been for the beautiful, helpful letters of my healer, I would have been discouraged, as error seemed to creep in so often, and I cannot help feeling very grateful to him, for Christian Science has brought me great peace and happiness.
Now a few people in Newcastle are becoming interested in Christian Science, and some have bought copies of Science and Health. I would like to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," also for all the Christian Science publications, from which I receive much help; and whilst expressing my gratitude for these, my thoughts wander back to a most helpful holiday last summer, when I met Scientists for the first time, and one could not help noticing the difference between them and the people one meets generally.
