With a heart full of deep gratitude I want to bear witness to all the blessings I have received through Christian Science.
This Science was brought to my notice one day when I was in bed with an acute attack of enteritis. One to whom I feel sincere gratitude came to see me and said, "It is not right to suffer so; there is Christian Science, which, through knowledge of God, makes it possible for us to be healed of all ills, and God alone heals." She gave me some Heralds of Christian Science [French edition] which interested me very much, and as soon as I could get up I agreed to see a practitioner, who got me the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
I read this book eagerly. On each page it seemed to me to give what I wanted—the liberty of which Mrs. Eddy tells us on page 227 of the textbook: "Citizens of the world, accept the 'glorious liberty of the children of God,' and be free! This is your divine right." I studied every day and sought the help of a practitioner, who through her work and indefatigable love, freed me from many ills.
