Christian Science came into my life at a time when I was utterly discouraged, and in such a weakened condition that I was not able to be out of bed all day at a time. My physician had done all for me that he could do, and said that I would have to undergo an operation before I would have relief. I had undergone two operations for the same trouble before, and felt a third would not do any more good. At this time my sister-in-law, who had been healed of chronic stomach trouble through Christian Science, in one treatment, asked me to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, saying she knew it would help me. I did not have any faith in it, for I had about lost faith in everything and everybody; but I picked the book up and began to read with these thoughts, saying, Well, I will see what is in it. I read for hours. Never before had I felt such peace and happiness; and from that day to this, over three years, I have never used a material remedy for myself or my children. I went to see a practitioner, and in two treatments was healed of the trouble I had had since early girlhood.
I am very, very grateful for this healing and for many others in our family since. I am so grateful for the Sunday school, for all the Christian Science literature, and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for giving us this truth that makes us free by teaching us to know God aright.— Cincinnati, Ohio.
