From the August 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


After twelve long years of sorrow and loss, and earnestly reaching out for Truth, Christian Science came to me with healing in its wings, at a time when I had entirely lost all hope, and even my belief in a God.

Then, when plunged in despairing darkness, a friend persuaded me to go to a Wednesday evening meeting, "Just," as she said, "to see what Christian Science is." Not caring what I did, taking no interest at all in anything, I went, and I can never express my gratitude to God for the Truth there revealed; it has done so much for me.

Among many things, I have been entirely healed of a broken knee-cap of twenty years' standing, which caused me not only great inconvenience, but terrible agony at times. One day, having mentioned this to my healer, she told me that I did not really need the surgical bandage which I was accustomed to wear night and day, and which I had always believed I could not possibly do without, as, if it became in the slightest degree loosened, whether I was lying still in bed or up on my feet, the knee-cap became displaced, and on one occasion the joint completely turned the wrong side out.
