Healed by Reading Science and Health

M. M. S.

I have often thought I would give to the readers of the Sentinel my first experience in Christian Science and also my healing, which seemed to me wonderful and beautiful, for a world of sadness was changed to a world of gladness, and a life of suffering to one of health and peace and joy.

From childhood to the time of my healing, which, to me, were many weary, lingering years, I can scarcely remember a time I was not taking medicines in some form. I was a great sufferer the larger part of the time. At last my health broke down entirely, and I lost all use of my back and limbs. My physician told me I would never be well again or able to work any to speak of. I had those who were called the best doctors in the city but received little or no relief.

It was after a winter of great suffering, I being confined to my bed, that Christian Science first came to me in the form of a tract that a Christian Scientist who had recently become my neighbor left at the door. It came to my bed and I read it wondering if it could be possible for me to be healed. I read and re-read this tract, and when my physician came I showed it to him and asked him what he thought about it. He told me it was the work of the devil. So I thought I had to give up what seemed to me my last hope, for I was getting worse all the time.
