I am most happy to be counted among the many thousands who have been healed in Christian Science, and it is with great gratitude and love to God, and to our dearly beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, that I testify to the healing power of Truth. Before coming into Christian Science I was for twelve years continuously under the care of physicians. I went through a very serious operation for ovarian trouble, and spent some months in a hospital at Los Angeles, but was only relieved for a short time. Instead of getting well, new ailments were setting in, such as stomach trouble, etc., and last came a disease pronounced incurable, viz., locomotor ataxia. I was all the time getting weaker, so that it was hard work for me to move about. Specialists were consulted about my case, but they knew not what to prescribe. Different remedies were tried, but all to no avail.
By this time I was reduced to helpless and hopeless invalidism. I wished to die, thinking this the only relief out of all my troubles, well knowing that I could not last long in the condition I then was. Then Christian Science came to my rescue. It had been several times recommended to my husband as a curative agent, but being of the Jewish faith we had not much use for Christian Science. The time came, however, when I had to try it, because there was absolutely nothing else to try. It is needless to say that I came to Christian Science with little or no faith or hope, as I considered it just another remedy.
And what did I find in this new remedy? All the old troubles vanished under Christian Science treatment, and I found health and happiness; but, best of all, I found a beautiful religion. I read for the first time the New Testament, and the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," especially that wonderful chapter, Atonement and Eucharist, made it plain to me that Christ Jesus was the promised Messiah and Christian Science the promised Comforter. The Bible and Science and Health are a great comfort to me and are my daily companions. I enjoy my new-found religion and take pleasure in studying the Lesson-Sermon and in church attendance. I am proud to say that I am a member of The Mother Church and of the branch church here.
