It is a joy to me to be able to testify to the fruits of Christian Science. When my father was taken seriously ill in 1934, a friend called my attention to this Science. We asked a practitioner for help, and my father was healed; but he was not in sympathy with this religion. I made little progress because of the opposition of those around me.
I had been brought up strictly, and my parents did their best to guide their children in the way they thought we should go. However, I was not satisfied and did not find what I was looking for until I began the study of Christian Science. I was very delicate, and one sickness after another had to be overcome. These included heart trouble called angina, asthma, skin eruption, and hay fever.
Disappointments and sufferings of a mental nature often made my condition almost unbearable. Toward the end of 1946 I reached the ultimate of human suffering. Then I turned in all earnestness to Christian Science for help. Mrs. Eddy quotes these words on page 96 of Science and Health, "The darkest hour precedes the dawn;" and on page 22 of the same book she writes, "Love is not hasty to deliver us from temptation, for Love means that we shall be tried and purified."
