It was in the year 1899 that I first heard of Christian Science through a friend who was studying it. I became interested and sent for the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. By clinging steadfastly to the truth found therein, a year later I was healed of a chronic bowel trouble, which I had had as far back as I can remember and for which I was always taking medicine. Heat headaches, from which I had suffered for years, were also overcome. Both these ailments had been treated by doctors, but without bringing permanent relief.
My husband was healed of malaria by reading the text-book and clinging to the Scripture promises. He had been treated by a doctor all one summer for this ailment, and was told that no permanent relief would come until cold weather set in. In the last attack mortal law was proven false before the truth of Christian Science, and he was healed. This healing took place thirteen years ago, and there has been no return of the malaria. All the symptoms of acute lung trouble were overcome in one night's treatment; also influenza, colds, and a malignant throat affection were conquered by Truth.
We are very grateful for the privilege of being members of The Mother Church, also for the love and kindness that have been manifested toward us by Christian Scientists. I have had the privilege of going through class with one of Mrs. Eddy's students as my teacher, and am very grateful for the help received. When I look back and see how this study has helped both my husband and myself in so many ways, my heart is filled with gratitude and love toward the one who voiced the message of Lift', Truth, and Love to this generation. The only way to prove my loyalty and love to our Leader is to try to live the truth she so lovingly taught us. Our literature is indeed daily manna, and helps me many times with the love and truth that is voiced therein.— Medford, Mass.
