A. M. K.

Christian Science found me discouraged, bewildered; I did not know which way to go. A friend came to see me and said her daughter had some Journals and tracts on Christian Science, and added, "Christian Scientists pretend to heal without medicine, but I don't believe it." I asked her many questions; she did not know much about it, only that she did not believe in it. As all material means had failed me, it seemed my only chance for life. I felt I should like to know what it was. In a few days, she sent me one Journal and two tracts. I then found there was a book called "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, and I had a great desire to read it.

We had paid out so much for doctors' bills, that I did not then have the money to send for it. I prayed for two or three days that there might be some way for me to see the book soon. My sister came, and said she had that book at home, but did not care for it, and I might have it. It was brought to me in the afternoon. After reading a few pages and examining it, I laid it down, disappointed, for I could not understand it.

My next step was to write to a lady for Christian Science treatment. A short time after this, one night I was filled with doubt and fear, and questioned, Will it help, or will it prove like all the remedies I have tried? These words came to me, Fear not; I will help you. Had a person at my bedside spoken those words they could not have been more significant. I dried my tears, and went to sleep. When I awoke it was morning.
