I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for Christian Science, and for the great help it is to me in my daily life.
I came into Science because of illness. From birth I had been a sickly child, and my childhood was a period of slavery to a continued succession of colds. At last the fear grew within me that I had developed lung trouble, and life became a torture in the fear and terror of this dreaded disease. At this time I heard of Christian Science, and began to study, eager for any help that would rid me of the shadow that had undermined my health, and had me looking nigh unto death. As a matter of fact, my family and friends thought I would die, and that fear itself was never far from my own thought.
After I had read the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I asked and received help from a Christian Scientist. I shall never forget the patient attention she gave to me during that period. My healing was not instantaneous; it took about one year, during which time I absorbed many of the beautiful truths of Christian Science, and learned to appreciate its noble teachings.
