It has been about five years since I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, but being blinded by a previous study of so-called, but spurious Christian Science, and having no true Scientist to talk with, I got very little out of it for two years. At the end of that time, God led me to the home of a true Christian Scientist, where I received treatment and was healed in three weeks of consumption of the bowels, which had disabled me for work for some time, and which was considered to be in the last stages. Many other ailments have been overcome, among which were indigestion, piles, colds, toothache, and chills and fever.
I have also been greatly benefited, both spiritually and morally, and as I grow in understanding, I can see that because my healing seemed to be slow in some ways, I was led to seek for myself an understanding of this Truth that makes us free. We are told to seek and we shall find, and Paul tells us that in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Formerly I knew nothing about the Bible, I now make it my daily companion. Formerly I worried over a lack of education, now I am beginning to see that the study of the Bible with Science and Health is an education in itself. For all my many blessings my heart is full of gratitude to God and to His servant, Mrs. Eddy, for her loving, unselfish work for mankind, and to all those who have helped me on step by step in this path "that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."
