Christian Science was presented to me in the year 1892, but I did not accept it fully till two years later. I had not a healthy organ in my body, but the treatment was given for a very badly sprained ankle, which kept me in bed. I was healed of that quickly and was a changed woman, because He whom I had always tried to worship from a child, had been brought near to me. Science and Health was put in my hands for the first time, and I knew that God had revealed Himself to me through that book. I read it every moment of the time that I could spare. When my duties as a wife and the mother of five children were attended to. I would pore over its pages, drinking in the truth as fast as I could. I just lived on it for months and months, not thinking of anything but the truth contained therein, till when I next thought of myself I was healed of every trouble and was a free woman. Oh, the joy of that moment none can tell but those who have been through similar experiences.

There came ample opportunity in the next ten years to demonstrate Christian Science, both for myself and others. The demonstration of the power of Truth has been enough to cause life-long gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, who has made it possible. My desire is so to live that people, seeing my good works, may be led to glorify my Father in heaven.—Sarah L. McDonnell, Toledo, O.
