I cannot remember a time when I was not delicate

Annie E. Fitch

I cannot remember a time when I was not delicate. As I look back to my childhood I wonder that I lived to womanhood, for I was weak and nervous and always had something the matter. As I grew older, the ills of the flesh seemed to be part of my life. I had rheumatism, a weak throat and lungs, weak heart, indigestion, fainting spells, besides a headache which was almost always with me. While I was delicate, I was not, however, an invalid, for I went about trying to enjoy myself and taking it for granted that these ailments must always be with me, for as my dear mother had always had them I thought I must have them too, so that it never occurred to me to be treated for any of them when I first heard of Christian Science. When I commenced to read Science and Health I knew I had never read such a book. I felt that the love expressed in that book must come from the heart of divine Love. It seemed to touch every thought in every avenue of life, and I felt such a sense of assurance that all the teaching in that book was the truth.

I was healed of all these troubles which I had cherished so long, by reading our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and to-day I do not think there lives a woman in better health than I am. I have learned in Christian Science what Love is, not that which I once thought was love, the love that seemed to make me happy to-day and miserable to-morrow, but I have learned of the immutable, unchanging, divine Love which is as boundless as the universe, and I realize the strength and joy and peace that come with this understanding of divine Love.

My heart goes out daily in gratitude to God for giving us Christian Science and our dear Leader. I love her with all my heart for the light of Truth reflected by her.
