I am very grateful that Christian Science has come into my life. Four years ago I had my first wonderful experience. I had been suffering from asthma for sixteen years. In spite of their sincere efforts, the doctors were not able to effect a healing, but could give me only temporary relief. They told me that if I lived to be one hundred years old, I should never be rid of asthma. I then heard of Christian Science and decided to try it. After three absent treatments I felt a great relief. But since I was not yet wholly free from the suffering, I asked a practitioner to visit me. Through her loving, clarifying work, I saw that the error had to be destroyed in my thinking. I was also able to understand what Mrs. Eddy says about the real man in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," on page 252, lines 8–14. Soon after that I felt entirely free.
This healing awakened in me the desire to belong to the Christian Science church, and I joyfully took the first steps in this direction by withdrawing from my former church.
I am grateful with all my heart and rejoice to know also that Christian Science releases mankind not only from sickness but also from sin. It is my desire to search even more deeply in this new-old truth, so that I may also share this blessing with others.
