The way in which I was brought into Christian Science has always been a staff for me to lean upon. For many years I had suffered from low blood pressure with its attendant ills. I had a great fear of fainting and had to take long rests each day. Although I had consulted different doctors and specialists in my search for health, they had brought me no relief. I had always believed in God, and I felt somehow that He does not send illness and frustration. One night, being unable to sleep, I knelt down and prayed very fervently that God would heal me as He had healed through Jesus almost two thousand years ago.
One day about a week later I found myself looking into the display window of a Christian Science Reading Room. There I saw two books. One of them was the Bible, and the other was Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I was guided to go into this Reading Room and get a copy of Science and Health. This book was a revelation to me.
In a short time I destroyed all my drugs and sleeping tablets. Very quickly I was healed of constipation of many years' standing. Since that time, over thirteen years ago, I have relied entirely on Christian Science and have never had to spend a day in bed through illness. During a severe attack of quinsy, which had troubled me for many years, I realized that God's love was all around me. The healing was instantaneous, and I have never since been troubled by quinsy.
