What words can better express my gratitude than the giving of thanks to God for Mary Baker Eddy, who so unselfishly labored to teach all humanity the joy of living!
When I was a small child, my great compassion for suffering people made me desirous of knowing the cause of so much suffering. I always pondered the meaning of these things until about six years ago I found myself on the verge of suicide, and only my great fear of the grave halted the step. The fear of the insane asylum disturbed me greatly. Christian Science was brought to me by a loving sister-in-law, and it was through her that I was led to a practitioner, who gave me the Beatitudes to read while she was silently knowing the truth. In less than two weeks I suddenly had my first manifestation of healing—the disappearance of warts from both hands, a condition which had greatly troubled me for two years.
Being born a Jewess, I had been brought up to hate the name of Christ Jesus; but Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," and I am happy to testify that I have been freed from many old false beliefs. Many physical ills have completely disappeared, such as great suffering from varicose veins, phlebitis, infection, skin eruption on the face, eczema, winter and summer colds. The mental surgery performed when phlebitis of the limb threatened was indeed God's wondrous work, for I spent only two days in bed. My four children were healed of measles and chicken pox and scarlet fever.
