I first became interested in Christian Science about seventeen years ago. Seeing my need, a friend said, "You surely need Christian Science as much as any one I know; " and she lent me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I read the book for a short time, but, not understanding it, I returned it to her. About a year after this I was again told of Christian Science as a healing power, and, being an invalid under the care of physicians and not having been benefited by their treatment, I decided to try it.
My first healing through Christian Science was of an organic trouble of several years' standing. An allopathic physician had given me several kinds of medicine, and had finally said I must submit to an operation. A homeopathic physician had said that under no condition must I have the operation; that it was unnecessary. Of course the latter was good news; but I did not improve under his treatment. I then turned to Christian Science, and was healed in one week.
I had been passing through a very trying experience that seemed almost more than I could bear, and was practically a physical wreck from nervousness and worry. I was filled with hatred and resentment toward those who I felt had deeply wronged me, and my one desire was to get even with them. Need I say that when I found I was physically healed, the hate and resentment had also disappeared? If Christian Science had never done anything else for me than to heal me of this resentment, I should be satisfied, and, oh, so grateful for the peace and happiness that came to me.
