I have been interested in Christian Science for about five years and it has been a wonderful help to me both physically and spiritually. I often wonder how I ever lived in the old thought, and as I look back I realize that it was just existing, and that was all.

When I turned to Christian Science I had been sick most of the time for two years, not confined to my bed, but miserable, and I had worn glasses for several years. I left my glasses off upon going to learn of the teachings of Christian Science and have never worn them since, having been completely healed of that trouble. The teachings of Christian Science were all very new to me, but from the first I was convinced that it was the truth, and I began to drink in every word, for I was hungering and thirsting for something, I knew not what, but since then it has grown very plain to me. I devoted all the time I could possibly take from my business to the reading of Science and Health, and through the earnest efforts of the practitioner I was healed of my worst ailments in two weeks' treatment, and was so lifted up and out of the old thought that I was free as a bird.

I had tried some of the best physicians and taken a great many kinds of medicine, until nothing seemed to help me but for a short time. I had always prayed from a little child, and would ask God each night for health, and for light that I might lead a purer, better life and do some good in the world, and I feel that I was led into Christian Science through my earnest desire to know God, good, and it has been such a blessing to me. Never before did I find the rest and peace that I have found in this truth, which frees from pain and suffering as well.
