I have received so much help through my study and application of Christian Science that I feel the time has come for me to share some of my experiences with the readers of our periodicals.
Shortly after the First World War my husband and I found ourselves in a strange city with most of our savings gone and very little income. During this time I became ill with a swollen gland, high fever, soreness, and pain. I had heard of Christian Science and had attended Sunday and Wednesday services and a lecture. When this trouble came, we decided to rely on Christian Science, and a practitioner was called to work for me. She advised us to borrow the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. This was on a Monday. When I borrowed the book and started reading, I found, like so many others, that I could not stop. Through this reading and the work of the practitioner, by Wednesday evening of the same week I was able to attend the testimony meeting. In a few days I was completely healed, and there has never been a return of this trouble.
At the same time, by reading Science and Health, my husband was healed of an eye condition caused by being gassed in the war. An Army eye specialist had told him that the condition might result in blindness. After these healings our financial need was also met. Since that time our progress has been continuous.
