My testimony of gratitude for Christian Science is long overdue. I was protected and guided during my youth, and because I was reared in a Christian Science home, I had very few problems to meet. Later I drifted along for a number of years, neither studying Science nor acting like a Christian Scientist.
After I had been married about four years, I was called upon to begin a really earnest study of Science. My health had failed at a time when I needed all the strength of normal health to continue working thirteen hours a day. In addition, I was doing my own housework. My husband's employment did not meet our needs in many ways. The future as well as the present seemed black. When I turned completely to Christian Science, our situation began to improve rapidly.
Some of my physical problems were healed, but the turning point in my experience came when I saw that if I really wanted to be healed I would have to want to be a Christian Scientist. Before this I was wanting the benefits of Science without desiring to dedicate my life to being a Christian Scientist. I took this mental forward step, and more progress followed. My various ills were all healed, and I have since heard these ills described as phases of a nervous breakdown.
