I first became acquainted with Christian Science thirty years ago. Since that time I have had many blessings and healings, and it is now right to give an account of some of these healings. I have found that the old proverb, "man's extremity is God's opportunity," is true.
One day, some years ago, when I was on the way to the doctor, a lady on the train asked me why I was so sad. I told her of my illness—that at the birth of my second child I had developed a nervous complaint which had become worse, and that I cried all day long. I said, "I am a businesswoman. I have to look after my business and provide for two small children. I can't work or even think any more. The doctors tell me this is a severe nervous condition they can't cure." (I had prayed daily to God to guide me and to show me the way so that I might be healed.)
The woman gave me a copy of The Herald of Christian Science to read and recommended that I go to a Christian Science practitioner. She said that I could be healed by God. The next day I did go to a practitioner who lived many kilometers away from our home.
