It is more than six years since I was healed in Christian Science. I had not been well for three years, and for three months previous to my healing I had been in constant pain from inflammation of the bladder and other ills. I had not had a night's sleep in a week, and it seemed to me life was hardly worth living. A neighbor who is a Christian Scientist was asked to come in to see me one Sunday evening, and she stayed about an hour, giving me the words of Truth. I had a peaceful night's rest, and the next day began the study of the Bible and Science and Health in earnest. I also read "Miscellaneous Writings." Every day there was improvement, and about the tenth day I was perfectly free from the sense of pain and sorrow that had bound me.
Christian Science has been a protection since that time, and has taken away much fear. It has healed me of severe headaches and taught me to love instead of criticize my neighbor. While I have had many disturbances in a general way, they have been quickly overcome with the help of a practitioner,—if I failed myself to know the truth about the matter.
I am grateful to the friend who came to me that night and was able to reach my need, also to all those who helped to bring me into Science. One thing my friend said to me was this: "Never let a day go by without getting out some portion of the Lesson." I have endeavored to do that and have found it very helpful. I am grateful to God, and also to Mrs. Eddy, who was good enough to voice the truth to this age.— Denver, Col.
