About fifteen years ago I was in bondage to the flesh, and it seemed that I was without hope or God in the world. I had been taught that God sends sickness and death, and I had to give up saying the Lord's Prayer, for I felt I did not want His will to be done; but when Christian Science revealed to me a loving Father-Mother God, I began to understand God's will and love it.
When Christian Science came to me, I was in bed nearly all the time, and had been for years. If I was able to walk to the dining-room to eat with the family, I could not lift a plate of bread. Then a lady came to see me and said that I could be healed; that I was as much God's child as she was. I was willing and ready to try a remedy that seemed so good, and accordingly purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. From the first day's reading there was improvement, and in a short time I could walk, while in a few months I was perfectly healed, simply from reading the text-book. Not only was I healed, but my entire family have been wonderfully benefited, and now even with my small understanding I am able to help others.
I want my life to express my thankfulness to God, and I strive each day to know Him better. I can never cease to be grateful to our dear Leader, who has so patiently and lovingly shown us the way.— Statesville, N.C.
