In 1908 I felt as Job did when Eliphaz, speaking of God, said to him, "Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace." Job could only cry out in answer, "Oh that I knew where I might find him!" When I first turned to this truth for help, I was in extreme distress. For months I had suffered from what the doctor called a nervous spine, and at last reached the place where the end was expected at any time.
Recalling the one Christian Scientist whom I knew, I at once started to her home for treatment. It was a clear case of Love leading me. I remember that the thought uppermost with me while on my way was: "I'll try treatment in Christian Science. It probably will not help, but it will not hurt me." I shall never forget or cease to be grateful for the experience which followed. My friend lovingly cleared the way for truth to appear in my consciousness. After a week of rest and treatment in her home I found myself healed. This healing was so complete that I was soon enjoying greater strength and activity than I had experienced in years.
I felt there must be something of greater import to man than deliverance from bodily ills. I continued to read and study Mrs. Eddy's works in order to gain their deeper meaning. Unfoldment came gradually; today I rejoice in unquestioning recognition of Christian Science as provable, absolute truth.
