Christian Science has changed my entire life and made it well worth living. Until I learned of this healing truth I was ill a great deal of the time. I had tried various kinds of treatment, but was still sick and very much discouraged. Through the healing of a friend I became interested enough in Christian Science to want to try it for myself, and soon after that, when a minor case of sickness came on, instead of going to the doctor I went to a Christian Science practitioner. The healing experienced in that one treatment seemed wonderful to me.

Shortly afterward I had a severe attack of rheumatism, so that I was almost helpess and in constant pain. I sent for a practitioner and asked for treatment, and while at the time the healing seemed slow to me, as it took three or four months, still it was through. About eight years have passed and there has never been a return of the trouble. I am very grateful for the physical healing, but more so for the clear, impersonal help received, for I gained during this experience a new understanding of Life, a broader sense of Love, a fuller realization of the necessity of working out our own salvation here and now, and the understanding in a larger degree of how to do this in Christian Science.

Christian Science has been the only remedy in our home since this healing, and we have proved many times that it not only heals physically, but is a very definite, practical religion, one that can be applied to every phase of human living. I am very grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy; grateful that she was good enough and pure enough to discover this Christ-teaching and give it to a hungering world in a practical, usable form.
