For nearly ten years I was a semi-invalid. Having relied during this time upon medicine and surgery for healing without regaining my health, I had lost all faith in doctors and material remedies, and I asked God to help me. One day I was approached by a student of Christian Science who said: "I have noticed your need of God's loving help. I want you to promise me that you will go to a Christian Science Reading Room today and secure a copy of the textbook of Christian Science, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures' by Mary Baker Eddy. Then take it home and read it." This I did that very day.
With the help of a Christian Science practitioner I was healed at once of a bowel disorder that had prevented action for three weeks. A healing of a nervous condition was gradually achieved, and sorrow was mastered with joy and gratitude for the healing efficacy of Truth as revealed in Christian Science. Soon I was free from all sense of invalidism.
Through continued study of the Bible, in connection with Science and Health, I have been healed of many mental and physical difficulties, including headaches, tumors, and impaired eyesight. With the help of a practitioner I recovered from a serious malady of months' duration. Protection in business matters has been gained in Christian Science. The understanding of God's presence with me as omniactive Mind and of man as the idea or reflection of God, or Mind, has helped me in my work. Limitations gradually lessened with our family, most of whom have become interested in Christian Science and have experienced healings. Heart trouble, stomach ulcers, and cancer were among the diseases healed. When my mother put all her faith in Spirit, God, she was healed of a skin cancer, which never reappeared.
