A great feeling of gratitude surges over me when I think of my condition now as compared with what it was when I turned to Christian Science for help. Even gratitude seems a poor word to express what I feel, and it is my earnest wish that this testimonial may induce some one who is in need to turn to this source for help, for Truth will not fail.
About three years ago I asked for help in Christian Science for a very bad state of mental depression of long standing. I had tried many other methods of treatment, various schools of medicine, specialists, etc., and I was in despair, as all had failed. Hundreds of dollars had been spent, I was surrounded by every comfort in my home, husband and children were devoted, I had everything to make life attractive, and yet I was wretched. I felt every morning as though -there was not enough in life to be worth living through that day. Words are inadequate to express what I suffered. I dreaded to meet people, as it seemed such an effort to talk, and I could hardly think. Four of my people had gone in this same way, and it seemed inevitable that I should do the same. Life was indeed a burden, and my whole family were under a cloud because of my condition.
But now, thanks to Christian Science, we are in the sunlight of Truth; the clouds have been swept away. I began to improve almost from the first, and was immediately healed of a chronic stomach trouble from which I had not been free for more than ten years. I had been afraid to eat, and confined myself to a very limited diet; but the practitioner told me to eat whatever I wanted, as it would not disturb me, and I found this to be true. I began at once to eat all kinds of food, and have never been disturbed one single day in nearly three years.
