Although I first heard of Christian Science about twelve years ago, I never had the privilege of investigating it until I heard of it through my mother, who lives in Seattle, Washington. A lady came to live near us, and while I was visiting her she began telling me of some of its teachings and the beautiful work it was doing. I got deeply interested, and asked her to heal me of chilblains, which had been paining me severely for three or four winters, so that I could not wear my shoes without suffering. I can remember that the first night I slept much better, and in a short time this ailment entirely disappeared, and I have had no trouble from it since. I then sent for a copy of Science and Health and a Hymnal. I know this was the best investment I ever made.

I have been a student for about four years and have made many demonstrations for myself, and one especially which I would like to mention. It was over an attack of cholera morbus. Every summer I seemed to have a spell of this trouble and one evening it attacked me very severely, but in a few moments, when I had declared the truth to the best of understanding, the pain left. In about ten minutes I prepared a meal and enjoyed it with the the rest of the family. I have had many demonstrations for myself and others. My husband is with me in this grand work; we go hand in hand in our studies, and the spiritual uplifting is even greater than the physical help.

I am grateful to God, and to our dear Leader who has brought this truth to suffering humanity. We have all Mrs. Eddy's works and also the Christian Science periodicals. I love to read the "Testimonies from the Field" and also the many helpful articles by different writers.
