More than fifty years ago my husband asked me to let him call a Christian Science practitioner after material medicine had failed to heal me of a condition of toxemia. He had witnessed his father's healing of heart trouble through Christian Science treatment several years before I met him. His father had been told by doctors that he had six weeks to live. He enjoyed forty-five more active years as an earnest student of Christian Science.
I knew nothing about Science but agreed to my husband's calling a practitioner. The prayerful treatment brought immediate peace and comfort and inner conviction that I would get well and live. From that day I have depended solely upon Christian Science for healing—physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually.
My complete healing which followed made me want to know what had healed me. So began the greatest adventure anyone can experience—the study of Christian Science and its application in the human scene. My equipment for this life adventure was the Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mrs. Eddy, and Mrs. Eddy's other writings.
