Thirteen years ago I was operated on for appendicitis and a growth in my side. Although the operation was performed by a noted surgeon, the result was almost constant pain in my side and severe headaches. The suffering was becoming so intense that I was discouraged, and had about decided to undergo another operation, although I had no confidence in it, when we heard a lecture on Christian Science and the experience of a neighbor who had been healed through the power of Truth. I was advised to try Christian Science, and in four treatments from a practitioner I was completely healed.
My husband and son took up the earnest study of Christian Science with me right after my healing, and we have had the privilege of attending First Church of Christ, Scientist, Seattle, and all the lectures in or near this city. In this way, and with the daily study of the Lesson-Sermon, some measure of understanding has been attained and we have had some beautiful demonstrations. My son has had the great privilege of being in the Christian Science Sunday school, and when he was appointed to work in the check room we were all very happy, for he wanted to do something for our cause. It was to us a beautiful demonstration of God's love and care.
I cannot find words to express half of the gratitude I feel for Christian Science, and for the many wonderful channels that have opened up to us to attain some understanding of this truth about God. I hold in my heart's deepest and purest love each and every one connected with this work of spreading its teachings according to the plans of our wise Leader, Mrs. Eddy. Although we were church members for years, the Bible to us was a sealed book. Now, each day and each hour Love is unfolding to us a little more of the truth. My desire is so to live as to be worthy to have named the name of Christian Science.— Seattle, Wash.
