It is over a year ago that I met a Christian Scientist in the street and she stopped me and asked if the doctors were helping me. I told her that I had been under the doctor's care four years and they had not given any permanent benefit. I had what the doctors called paralysis, which left my legs so weak that I was unable to walk very far without the help of a stick. This lady told me that I could be healed, as hundreds of such cases as mine had been cured. I was delighted with her cheering words, and I consented to be treated. I knew that as God was the great Physician He could heal me. In a few months' time I began to improve, and could walk without a stick a distance of four miles. Friends of my parents began to discourage me and to talk against the treatment, and although my healing is slow they have not been able to do that, for I believe the work will be completed. I have bought Science and Health and am getting a beautiful understanding for myself. I have been uplifted with this glorious truth, and have felt and do feel the peace that passeth understanding, which I never before experienced, and I know, as it says in Science and Health, p. 254, "When we wait patiently on God, and seek Truth righteously, He directs our path."

My sister also has been greatly benefited by Christian Science, in the healing of what the doctors said was lung trouble. She was a regular attendant at an orthodox church, and used to believe in everything the clergyman said, until he preached against Christian Science and declared it was from the devil. Both of us are interested in Christian Science and attend the service. I am sure we cannot thank God enough nor be too grateful to Mrs. Eddy for this glorious truth, and we know the work will be done as it has been to others.
