Twenty years ago Christian Science came to me in an hour of severe trial. Always delicate from birth, as I grew to girlhood an illness settled upon me which for five years baffled the physicians, who were most kind, and did all in their power to relieve me, but said there was no hope. I could only wish that the end might come quickly. Suddenly my father passed away, and I thought my grief unbearable. The world looked black, and I asked, "What have I done that God should punish me like this?" A little later I heard of Christian Science and began taking treatment. Never will I forget the peace and rest which came to me, nor the joy when I was made to understand that it was not God who had caused my suffering. The healing came slowly. I stumbled, but only to get up again. Today I am a well and happy woman. I go to the Father in thankfulness for the work of our Leader, and for the loving care I have received from her students, who have helped me to stand during the dark hours.

My husband never antagonized the Science. He said if I wished to bow down to a Chinese idol, and he saw that I was helped by it, he would make no objection, but he simply could not think as I did. When, after a few years, he, too, saw that it was the Christ—teaching, my cup of joy was full and running over. Our little boy, eleven years of age, does not know the taste of medicine, while many serious ailments have been met for him with Christian Science, and I am grateful.
