In May, 1899, Christian Science was brought to my notice through the healing of my aunt. I began to read Science and Health, and had a few treatments. Though I was not perfectly healed of my troubles, which were all said to be hereditary, still I was helped enough to prove to my own satisfaction that Christian Science was what I needed. At this time I was an active member of an orthodox church, an interested worker in the Christian Endeavor Society, and had charge of the infant department in the Sunday School. Though I was perfectly satisfied with my church and its teachings, I was not at all satisfied with my own progress in spiritual things, and longed for more light.

Surely, "the desire which goeth forth hungering after righteousness is blessed of our Father, and it does not return unto us void" (Science and Health, p. 2). As I read Science and Health, the Bible became plainer, and divine Love seemed nearer and dearer than ever before.

Since then I have been learning to apply the understanding of God which I have gained from Science and Health. Divine Love enabled me to overcome, with one treatment, a case of whooping-cough which, after six months of doctors and medicines, seemed no better. I have been healed of the grip in one treatment. Rheumatism, chronic catarrh, and constipation have been entirely overcome, and a very uncomfortable disposition greatly improved.
