Letters to our Leader

with contributions from Eleanor Noyes Orr, Albert E. Miller

Evanston, Ill., November 13, 1904.

My Dear Mrs. Eddy:—My heart so overflows with gratitude to-night, that even at the risk of trespassing upon your valuable time, I feel I must write you. It is nearly eight years since Christian Science rescued me from a fate which I dreaded more than death,—insanity.

I had suffered for years from insomnia and extreme nervousness, and as my trouble was thought to be hereditary, it seemed as though there was no escape for me. I had been under the care of eminent physicians in Switzerland and in Paris, and they had exhausted all means at their command, but without avail. During all this dark period my one unfailing refuge was my faith and trust in God, and He does not leave His trusting ones without relief. As my reward, Christian Science came to me with its wonderful light, and has truly transformed my life. From being a timid, suffering, helpless woman, I have become a strong and vigorous one; my executive ability has been greatly augmented and broadened; my powers of endurance greatly increased; the depression which in the past had so often weighed me down, has been lifted, and now every day is a happy one, because I feel that I have the strength to accomplish what I undertake.
