It is with deep joy and gratitude, and with the hope that it may encourage and help to be patient those whose healing seems to come slowly, that I contribute my testimony.
Having been brought up by deeply religious people, I learned at a very early age to trust and depend on God in all kinds of trouble and difficulties. At a time when I was in great need and sorrow, friends presented Christian Science to me, but I refused it because of what I imagined it to be.
As time went on physical troubles steadily grew worse, although the best help that medical science could render was lovingly given for many years. Finally, in 1928, without in the least considering what the results would be regarding my profession as a registered nurse, I decided to try Christian Science. This determination was the direct result of earnest prayer for light. I knew that when we trust God fully He leads and governs our every step. I therefore threw away all medicine and went to a Christian Science Reading Room, where I bought most of the writings of our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy; and I started in real earnest to find out what had been lacking in my concept of God.
