I deem it my privilege and duty to tell the public of the manner in which I was led to find the Truth. I suffered from heart trouble, nervousness, and sinking spells for twenty years, the last three years I spent in bed. I tried all the patent medicines I saw advertised and doctored with many physicians, but found no relief. The doctors told me that an operation would be necessary in order to effect a cure.
About five years ago a young girl who came to visit me, told me that I was serving two masters, and that I could get well without medicine. She asked me to read certain passages of the Bible. Reading these gave me new hope. I resolved to serve but one master. I soon began to improve in health. I learned to walk for the second time. I August I attended a Christian Science meeting. I soon regained perfect health. The knowledge of the means of my recovery has benefited my whole family. My husband and I have since then taken class instruction.
I make these statements in order to keep a promise I made when I was sick, that I would make public the means of my recovery. Words can but feebly express the gratitude I feel toward our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, nor can they adequately express my faith in Christian Science, to whose teachings I owe my recovery and my present welfare.
