I was not an invalid when Christian Science found me, nevertheless, I was troubled with several physical ailments, chief among which was catarrh in one of its most annoying forms that had been my constant companion for twenty years. At this time I was visiting relatives in a town where a cousin was under Christian Science treatment. She knew little about its teachings, but was sure it was just the thing I needed to cure my catarrh. I thought otherwise, but in spite of my objections I was induced to take treatment.

During the first two treatments I felt belittled and thought I was permitting others to make a fool of me, until I realized that I had been healed of indigestion, which had troubled me for two years. I then became interested and commenced to study. Treatments were continued about six weeks during which time I received a number of benefits.

Shortly after this I moved to another country where I had no Christian Science associates. Alone in my studies and efforts to affect a cure, it was nearly two years before the catarrh finally and completely disappeared. Looking back over those years I find myself healthier, happier, and better than I ever was before, for which I feel very thankful and realize that the benefits that may be derived from a study of Christian Science are priceless. Even more than healing of physical ailments is the peace and freedom which it brings, in the proportion that we live the truth and demonstrate it in our lives. — J. E. Steffins, Tacoma, Wash.
