I was a miserable woman, suffering daily with headache which the best doctors could not cure. I also had organic troubles which made it impossible for me to do my work at times without terrible pain. Doctors told me that I ought to go to a hospital and undergo an operation, they said I would never be well until I did.
I was very nervous and despondent. I had been taught to read the Bible and attend church. I went to different churches, talked with ministers and other good people, investigated every religion I could hear of, but was always disappointed.
They all told me I ought to love God, and then told me that it was by His will that I suffered, and that it was right to doctor for the troubles. I could not see why, if they believed that sickness was sent by a divine God for a good purpose, they should wish or dare to call in some man to undo what God in His wisdom had done.
