I should like to express my great gratitude for Christian Science, and for its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, whose consecrated study of the Bible enabled her to give to a waiting world a religion that heals all diseases.
In 1923 I commenced the study of Christian Science, and in a little while was healed of double rupture of sixteen years' standing, of varicose veins, and of fallen arches. My joy at being free of all the supports I had worn for these conditions through gaining a better understanding of God, and of man made in His image and likeness, was beyond words to express.
In 1924 I was taken with violent internal pains. I had not been attending church very regularly, and did not know there were practitioners upon whom we could call for help. My husband called in a doctor, who ordered an immediate operation for acute appendicitis. I submitted to this as being the wish of my husband and family. I had little fear and went under the anesthetic holding to the words "God is my life," and regained consciousness feeling quite calm. The medically expected complications attendant on such a serious case set in, and the doctor gave little hope of my recovery. I had no fear of death myself, for I was holding to the fact that God is my life, and that I was quite safe with Him.
