Esther P. Cruze

I was a semi-invalid; my husband and one daughter were doomed to die, according to the laws of materia medica; the other daughter was subject to hay fever from infancy, and neither medicine nor change of climate could heal her; a little boy was born with stomach trouble, and the hired girl was subject to sick headaches. My daughter and husband were both healed through Christian Science, each in one treatment. The boy's stomach trouble and the girl's headaches also vanished away. The hay fever has been a little more stubborn, but is now practically destroyed. Best of all, I have found the way to Truth. I had lost faith in drugs, though the doctors were faithful and kind, and my only hope was to die. I had no faith in orthodox theology; and I had no hope save in death.

As far back as I can remember I had a desire to be good. As I grew older, a longing to know how to be good grew upon me, but the ideal of good presented to me was not my ideal. I believed myself to be a hopeless, stubborn sinner because I could not see good that way. I asked all the professed Christians and ministers concerning many things that were disturbing me in the Bible, and they answered me according to the prevalent beliefs, but their answers disturbed me more than ever.

When Science and Health was given me I read all day and into the night until I had read it through, and oh, the joy of those days; I had found the truth! In the past two years I have been called upon to prove that it was the truth, in some very serious conditions, but it has been equal to each occasion. I cannot close without expressing my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, and to all others who have been so faithful in helping me over the rough way.
