Before accepting Christian Science I was subject to severe and frequent pains in my side, which would keep me in bed at times for twenty-four hours.

I was treated for this trouble often during my first year in Science. Finally my teacher told me she felt it was nothing but my tear of this excruciating pain which kept me in bondage.

A short time after this I was in the East among relatives who had no knowledge of Christian Science, when I felt this dreaded pain again. I excused myself, realizing that I must then meet it and my fear too. For about two hours I held steadfastly to the truth, knowing that God is Love, and that perfect Love casteth out fear. When I came from my room after that blessed two hours I was free and have never since felt, for one instant, a twinge of the pain. If this were the only time during the four years that I had received benefit, it would be enough to make me wish to lead a better life and help others, but I must tell of the healing of a case of jaundice in the family. The disease was not healed for about a week, but we found that resentment was being strongly held by the patient, and when the nothingness of this was pointed out, the healing was almost instantaneous, and all sallowness disappeared during the day.
