A few years ago, when I was a sufferer in mind and body, Christian Science came into my life like a refreshing and purifying wind. At the home of a good friend I saw The Herald of Christian Science (Scandinavian edition), which had been sent her from America. She gave me a number of copies, and I read or rather absorbed the articles, for they seemed to be written just for me. Since then Christian Science has been my daily bread. It has taught me to think, and to see life as I never did before.
As I read about the wonderful healings which were brought about through Christian Science, I longed to have this movement find its way to Finland. And so it had. I learned that services were being held here and that a practitioner was at work in Helsingfors. I called on her immediately and told her my trouble.
For many years I had suffered severely from insomnia, and my thought was full of restlessness, bitterness, and despair. She took up my case and worked for me with such success that from that time I have had recourse neither to soporifics nor to tonics, which had previously almost constituted my daily food.
