After twenty years' trying through material remedies to get relief from physical suffering. Christian Science was presented to me. I took the book Science and Health and pondered a small portion at a time. What I learned enabled me to give up the old belief that a diseased body caused an unhappy state of mind.

It was not hard for me to part with the old remedies, since I had lost nearly all faith in everything. I now know that personal hatred was my most serious enemy.

In the first Epistle of John we read, "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer." Mrs. Eddy says, "Hate no one; for hatred is a plague-spot that spreads its virus and kills at last" (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 12). I have pondered these and kindred statements in the Bible and Christian Science, and my experience has convinced me of the wonderful truth there revealed. I have been healed of painful maladies of long standing through the spiritual understanding I have gained of Truth.
