In Christian Science I have found the truth, and it has awakened a faith and hope in me, and established a joy unknown through my past years of suffering. I feel the deepest gratitude to Christian Science for the healing, both mental and physical, and to the dear friend who led me to a knowledge of this wonderful truth.
In November, 1899, I had never thought of Christian Science. I was a poor, tired mortal, longing for something to lean on and almost insane. I had always prayed, but amiss, for I had not realized that to love every one was essential to the demonstration of Truth.
For years I had many diseases, and my little girl had been ruptured, when I was led to know that God is All in all. I could not eat anything, was living on bread and water, my little girl had not eaten any solid food in a year, nor had a night's rest, and at times had convulsions. I tried all material means, the best physicians and patent medicine, for my child and myself, and got worse all the time. One night I prayed for resignation to God's will, feeling that I would rather give up my child than see her suffer in this way.
