I came into Christian Science at a very dark hour, after I had been pronounced tubercular by five physicians, and advised either to go West or else "make the most of my time." I had asthma very badly, and was unable to lie down at night without the aid of an opiate. My outlook was gloomy, when a loved one asked me to try Christian Science. I did not have three dollars with which to buy the Christian Science textbook at that time; so she gave me the money, but insisted that I should purchase the book myself, which I did. I began to read and study the book; and after many struggles I was enabled to do things which I had not done before in years. Still, I did not realize my healing until months later, when a friend told me that I looked better than I had ever looked before; and then it dawned upon me that I was healed—no longer tubercular; that I was a blessed child of God, well and free.
Christian Science has made many changes in my life. It has settled the question of Christ Jesus for me. My mother was a Baptist and my father a Jew, and my thought concerning Christ Jesus was therefore considerably confused. Our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, has corrected my thought on this. I feel so grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for this wonderful truth, which is indeed "a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."— Mobile, Ala.
