For many years I had been a very weakly woman, suffering from a prolapse peritonitis, and stomach trouble also many minor complaints, and the physicians had pronounced my case incurable. In 1903. when I was very miserable, a neighbor lent me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. My health began to improve from the first reading, and we could soon see a marked change for the better and I was finally completely healed through the understanding gained from reading the textbook. Shortly after beginning to read Science and Health and before this healing took place, an abnormal growth appeared on my body, which did not yield to my understanding of the truth, and my husband suggested that I have treatment from a practitioner. I objected at first to having help, though finally, about four years ago, I consented to take one treatment. This was on a Friday and on Sunday the growth came away completely leaving only a slight discoloration which soon disappeared.
While the physical healing is wonderful and gives us so much comfort and happiness, as our beloved Leader says: "It is only the bugle-call to thought and action, in the higher range of infinite goodness" (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 2), and cannot be compared with the spiritual uplift we gain from the illumination of the Bible. I thank God everyday for this great woman. Mrs. Eddy whose teaching is revolutionizing the world.— Kansas City, Kansas.
