The testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals have so often lifted me from the depths that gratitude impels me to add mine to the stream of comfort which flows forth unceasingly, reaching to the farthest corners of the globe.
The physical healings experienced —and they have been many—are cause for deep gratitude; but the joy that has come into my life through the unlocking of the Bible eclipses all else. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy is indeed a key; and the new understanding of God, which inevitably comes with the prayerful study of this wonderful book, has completely transformed my life.
When I began the reading of Science and Health, I was in the direst need, both mentally and physically. A distressing form of heart trouble, following upon a sharp attack of diphtheria, in addition to innumerable chronic ailments and the fear of approaching blindness, made life well nigh unbearable. While I was in this miserable condition, my little girl's eyesight failed, and I was advised by a physician to take her to the city to see a specialist. Feeling utterly hopeless, and wondering whether I should ever come back alive, I took her to Perth; and that journey was the turning point of my life.
