"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth" (Isa. 52:7). How grateful I am for Christian Science and for those dear practitioners, as well as other sincere students of Christian Science, who bring good tidings of God's love and care for His children.
For over twenty years now Christian Science has met my every need. In my teens I had a recurrence of internal parasites, from which I had suffered in childhood. I had lived in dread of this disease; and when it recurred, my mother, who knew very little of Christian Science but who had become acquainted with a practitioner, asked for treatment for me. In one treatment the condition was permanently healed.
A year or so later, while away at boarding school, I developed a very severe case of blood poisoning of the face. My mother was called to come immediately. The verdict of the doctors held very little hope, for they said that a streptococcic infection had also set in. Before my mother left home she called the same practitioner and asked her if Christian Science could handle such a case as this. She was assured that it could and that treatment would be given. When my mother arrived she read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy all night. I shall never forget the joy I felt the next morning. Where before all had seemed dark because of the great pain and discord that were manifested, there was a feeling of light and joy. I knew that something wonderful had happened and that I was going to be well. Within a few days all the ugly evidence disappeared; it just faded into nothingness, in the same way that darkness fades with the coming of the light.
