Christian Science came into my life eighteen years ago, after many years of searching for healing for my husband, who had been given up by sixteen physicians who claimed he had Bright's disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and valvular trouble of the heart. I felt that all material means had failed; and it was at this moment that I turned and called for help from a Christian Science practitioner in a near-by town. I told him my husband was dying. He answered, "There is no death." This comforted me. A friend lovingly gave me the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. From the moment I began reading our textbook, I was sure I had found what I had been searching for many years. It is with more gratitude than words can express that I can say my husband was healed in a few months.
In the years that have passed since then I have reared four children to full womanhood and manhood in Christian Science, without one drop of medicine. Of course, I have had to know the truth each day, and "pray without ceasing." I have seen all manner of disease-thoughts healed through this truth that Jesus said would make us free. My children were healed of measles and whooping cough, and one of them of a broken arm and nose, without any help except what our beloved Leader has given us, which is the teaching of the Master, Christ Jesus.
I have been healed of hatred, also of cyst tumor, headache, and sore throat. I am grateful for all that Christian Science has done for me and is doing for the whole world. I am grateful that I have had the privilege of class instruction, also of being a member of The Mother Church and a branch church, and for the Lesson-Sermon each day, and all the literature.— Waco, Texas.
