After eighteen years of suffering, from what the doctors pronounced a complication of incurable diseases, my attention was called to the healing of several cases of physical diseases by Christian Science. Being ever watchful of the spiritual welfare of the dear ones committed to my care, it seemed an imperative duty that I should know if there was anything in this wonderful power that would injure those whom I must soon leave, according to the verdict of many physicians. With a prayer to God to keep me from any wrong influence, I began the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and as I studied, comparing its statements with those of the great Master, Christ Jesus, light began to break in upon my thought, and great peace, such as I had never known, came to me. I was so full of joy that I voiced it to every one who came in, and was surprised that no one was glad, except my two little daughters, who were my willing assistants when I was not able to read for myself.

At that time I did not understand clearly the teaching of Science and Health with respect to physical healing, and my troubles seemed to assume an acute form. I then called a young student, who never failed in his faithful work for five months and one day in early spring the power of the Word was verified. I sat alone, thinking of the beautiful teachings of Science and Health, and I said aloud, if this be true. I am well now. For a moment my whole thought was filled with the light of Truth and Love, and I arose from my chair, healed! I went about my home duties, to the amazement of all, save the two little helpers. That was seventeen years ago; since then I have had many wonderful proofs of the loving care and the power of God to bless and heal.

With ever grateful love for the untiring efforts of our dear Leader, I pray that a true life may be the evidence of my appreciation.
