Christian Science has led me from the shadow of death into the sunshine of Soul, and I owe everything to its healing and saving power.
About seventeen years ago, after an elder sister had been healed through Christian Science of an illness for which several doctors had declared an operation imperative, I began to investigate it for myself. From the first time I read even a few lines in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I lost all faith in material means, and I have never resorted to them since. The more I progress, the more I realize that Christian Science is identical with Christ's Christianity, and the greater grows my love and reverence for Christ Jesus and the Bible.
One of my early healings in Christian Science was of what the physicians would call chronic appendicitis in a severe form. After many struggles, going for days without food, it dawned on me so clearly that God's angels—spiritual thoughts—had charge over me and that they would bear me up in their hands, as promised in the ninety-first Psalm, that I arose from a bed of suffering and weakness, feeling as if I were walking on air. That afternoon a friend came by and took me out for a drive. This healing was complete; and I am grateful for the loving help of the practitioner who prayed for me.
