It is with a heart filled with gratitude to God for the life of Christ Jesus and of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, the revelator of Truth to this age, that I write this testimony.
All my life I had been seeking Truth, but did not realize it until Christian Science came into my experience. My early home training and environment were of a deeply religious nature, and included family prayers, morning and evening, and Sunday school and church services, for all of which I am very grateful. Yet as I went forth into the world, I found that I was continually searching for a more satisfying religion. In my efforts to find peace and comfort, I turned to several systems of teaching, without avail.
In spite of the fact that I had heard of Christian Science many times, it was only as a last resort that I turned to it, and I was still skeptical. At the very outset, I was healed of numerous chronic physical ailments with which I had suffered many years. Among these were indigestion, eczema, headaches, nasal catarrh, and constipation. I was a professional medical nurse at the time and these healings made a lasting impression upon me. I have never ceased to be grateful to the practitioner who worked for me and later became my teacher.
