I am very grateful for the abundance of good that has come into my life since I took up the study of Christian Science; for the lectures; the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly; the periodicals; the practitioners who are helping all of us impersonally and universally to know the nothingness of hatred and fear and to know the allness of God, or good.
While reading in one of our periodicals a testimony of one who had been healed of delicate health in youth, I was reminded of my own very delicate health before Christian Science was presented to me. My mother took up the study of Science for the healing of grief after the passing on of my brother, and I was sent to the Sunday school as a natural result of her healing. Prior to that time I had been so thin and delicate that I was never expected to attend a school term without missing many days and weeks of it, because of a tendency to catch all the prevalent children's diseases, due to a delicate constitution. I had also undergone two operations for tonsil and adenoid growths, which continued to grow and become worse after each operation.
After attending the Christian Science Sunday School for a short time, and without any specific treatment, but merely through reading the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was completely and permanently healed of the tonsil and adenoid growths. Following this came perfect attendance at day school, something unthought of for me during a period of years; and, with the help of practitioners, healings of sore throat, a tendency to catch cold easily, hay fever, nervousness, business, home, and financial problems, and a tendency to worry and borrow troubles. Through a slight understanding of my true self as being at one with divine Principle, I am proving the preventive as well as the curative powers of Christian Science. I am now a healthy, happy, normal young woman, enjoying strenuous sports, such as swimming and horseback riding.
