I had been baptized in a church when I was quite young, had been active in church work when only a child, and believed in the Bible with all my heart, but was not at all satisfied with the way the church I belonged to practiced Christianity. I felt as if I must progress; but I did not know of Christian Science, which is indeed progressive Christianity, until a dear sister told me of it at a time when I most needed it.
I had been a victim of hay fever and asthma all my days and had become so tired of them that life was a burden. I studied some Christian Science literature my sister had sent me, and one morning decided to call a practitioner and get some help. I did so, and was healed instantaneously. I had been in an accident and the shock seemed terrible; and this, combined with worry over the financial condition of my children, who were in Arizona, caused me to have a nervous breakdown. But I was given aid by a loving practitioner, and this trouble also was overcome in a few days. I have been able to meet all my problems since that time with the truth, which is my "shield and buckler."
My daughter was also healed through Christian Science in a short time after the doctor had said she must be operated on at once.
