It is hard to express in words what Christian Science has meant to me and to my family. When I first became interested, it was with the desire to be healed; and the need was great. Since a child I had suffered with a nervous trouble. The fear of heredity seemed overwhelming. After an operation, which doctors advised, I only grew worse. When my little son was three years old and I seemed to be in total darkness, Christian Science came to me. I drank of it, and it has been a never failing well, like the one Jesus spoke of when he said, "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
Christian Science has met my every need. My healing seemingly has been slow; but there has been an ever increasing desire to work out the great problem of being, and an awakening to the understanding that "trials are proofs of God's care," as Mrs. Eddy tells us onpage 66 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
When Christian Science came to me I weighed seventy-nine pounds; I now weigh one hundred and thirty. I had not kept house for about a year; in a little more than a month I took it up again. My little son has had many healings; and my husband was healed of leakage of the heart in a very short time. Our home has been changed from an inharmonious one to a home of much peace.
