Over eight years ago I was instantaneously...

From the October 1930 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Over eight years ago I was instantaneously healed of a nervous breakdown, together with palpitation of the heart and stomach trouble, while a friend was reading to me from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Before this healing I had been almost unable to sleep or eat for nearly three weeks. After many nights of mental and physical suffering, the words "Christian Science" flooded my consciousness.

The next morning I arose and went to see this friend, who was a Christian Scientist, and asked her if she would help me. She read to me from the textbook and in about thirty minutes I was healed. That night I ate dinner and slept well. I cannot find words to tell of the peace that came to me. I immediately began the study of the Bible and the textbook, and since that time this truth has met my every need.

I am profoundly grateful for class instruction and for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church. This testimony would be incomplete without an expression of my deep appreciation for our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and for all the good she has brought to the world.—
