I am very grateful for Christian Science, because I am finding in it the prevention as well as the cure of disease. When I was a little girl I had a fever which left behind it rheumatic and other troubles. I had been ailing for many years, the different seasons trying me very much. When Christian Science was brought into our home I never thought of its helping me out of these troubles, because I had been told that I would never be free from pain. For some time I had a great desire to understand the Bible, and longed for something to help me, so after three of my sisters became students of Christian Science I found out from them that in this way the Bible would be made clear to me. My first demonstration of Truth's power was very wonderful, as I had studied only a few months. For many years I had suffered greatly from neuralgic trouble if I ever ventured out of doors in stormy weather, and I remember having had it all through the winter till far on in the spring. After I began to study "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I saw that I need not suffer any more, as man's birthright is freedom. Then when the next winter came around I was able to protect myself from the belief that the change of seasons could harm me, by holding fast to the great truth that God is the same "yesterday, and to day, and for ever," and instead of suffering from a number of distressing ailments, I was perfectly free. Christian Science has enabled me to go out in all kinds of weather and for over three years I have been free from pain. For this I am indeed thankful, and the only way I feel I can show my gratitude is by keeping in constant use the talents I have received, so that I may be ready to receive more.
