I feel it is my duty to tell of the blessing I have received through the understanding of Christian Science, and as I look back and see where I was when I first heard of Christian Science, in the valley of the shadow of death, I am very glad I was led to this blessed truth.

I had been most miserable. I could not rest, and the nights were long. I was in poor health for about three years, and my sister and I went to different doctors to see what they thought, but they gave me little hope. Later on. my husband took me to a specialist and he treated me a while until at last he told my husband not to bring me any more, that I needed a doctor to come and see me every day, and that he did not leave his office. When I got home I was very much discouraged. I longed to die, but oh, it seemed as if I had never loved my two children so much, and I dreaded to leave them. I was told I had consumption, and thought there was no cure for that. I want to say for the benefit of those whose demonstration seems to be slow, never get discouraged. My cough stayed with me over three years after I commenced treatment in Christian Science. I had many a struggle and at last I saw I simply had to overcome error or it would overcome me. I had to "Rise, in the strength of Spirit, to resist all that is unlike God" (Science and Health, p. 393).

The last doctor we had advised a change of climate, and at last I was compelled to go to bed, I was so weak.
