As I am a living witness to the power of Truth, I know that I owe to God and to our Leader a deep debt of gratitude, for through the knowledge of Christian Science as given to us in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I was led out of darkness into light. Six years ago I was in the depths of despair. I had been miserable for several months and finally, as I was getting worse rapidly, my physician thought it best for me to go to a hospital. After staying there seven weeks I was sent home because the physicians could do no more for me. They found it difficult to make a correct diagnosis of my case as they could not operate on account of the dangerous location of the trouble. All believed it to be an abnormal growth of some sort located in the shoulder near the neck. My right arm was practically useless, and the action of the heart much impaired.
The day after I was taken home Christian Science was presented to me. At first I did not think anything about it, but after a few days I consulted a practitioner and commenced treatment. Help was received immediately, but the road back to health was very rugged, and at times I was filled with fear and discouragement; however, I can truthfully say that I was finally healed through Christian Science and not a trace of the trouble is left. Since then I have had daily proof that God not only heals us of sin and disease, but will, if we only turn to Him, help us in our everyday problems.
For this new understanding of God, and of man in His image and likeness, I am deeply grateful to Mrs. Eddy and to those who so patiently helped me through the darkness into the light of Truth.— Hartford, Conn.
