Before learning of Christian Science, I had very poor health. I had gone through several operations and was threatened with another, until I thought there was no help for me this side the grave. I had never heard of Christian Science until one day when, alone in my home, I became so ill that I lay on the floor, unable to get upstairs. A neighbor heard my moans and came in. Alarmed at my condition, she called others, among them a trained nurse, who had a case near by. She wanted to get me morphine. After quite a time I was gotten upstairs, and to bed. They had telephoned for a doctor, and one of the women looked out of the window and said, "O I wish that doctor would come." I said, "It is no use; doctors do me no good, only God can help me now." I then noticed that a stranger, who was sitting by my bed, put her hand over her eyes. I thought she was praying. The pain was almost unbearable and there seemed to be such a noise, like the sound of the sea, that I thought the others must hear it. Then suddenly there came a hush, a calm,—it was truly Peace, be still,—and all pain left me. As I raised my eyes I said, "Oh, there is something in this room helping me; I am well. I have no more pain." Then this good woman told me that she had given me Christian Science treatment.

In a few days I was able to read some of the books, and soon began to study Mrs. Eddy's works, and am grateful to relate that I have had much success in healing myself and my friends. I have now but one ambition in life, and that is to be able to help others to understand this blessed truth.

Words fail to tell all my gratitude; as I cannot express myself very well in English I take this way to testify for Christian Science.
