For a long time it has been my desire to express my gratitude for the healings and blessings that have come to me through Christian Science.
My first healing occurred when a relative who was a Christian Scientist visited our home. At that time I had been suffering from bowel trouble for about eighteen years, and a fistula had formed which caused intense pain and annoyance. This relative handed me the textbook. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, saying, "If you will read this book, it will help you." I began reading it, and I was healed of the fistula. I committed to memory "the scientific statement of being," as found on page 468 of our textbook, which helped me in many of my problems.
Later the bowel trouble was healed through the work of a practitioner. That healing left no doubt in my thought. From that time on Christian Science was taken up by our whole family, and became our only remedy.
