It gives me pleasure to testify to the love of God, who forgiveth all our iniquities; who healeth all our diseases. When Christian Science was first brought to my notice, I was suffering from a fibroid tumor of great size, accompanied by severe hemorrhages and consequent anaemia. I had no hope of recovery except by the knife, and finally I was told that I had not sufficient vitality to survive an operation. I was then, and had for a number of years been a church member, but was without a correct understanding of God or our relation to Him. I had been instructed that affliction of every kind was given by God to chasten us and bring us nearer to Him. This thought was very repulsive to me, and though I did not understand, I could not believe that our sufferings were directed by the Divine will. In Job we read, "Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict."

I thank God for revealing Himself to us through the teaching of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, in which we learn that God does not afflict, but that God is Love in whom we live, move, and have our being. From the study of the Bible with Science and Health, and five absent treatments, the tumor disappeared, the hemorrhage ceased, and health was restored.

Since coming to Christian Science I have had other ills to meet, but have found divine Love sufficient for all my needs, and I have also been enabled to work for others. Words cannot express my gratitude to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for so patiently and carefully leading us along this beautiful path toward the realm of perfect day.
