Nearly two years ago, when I sought Christian Science, I was a complete wreck, both physically and mentally. From childhood I had been doctored by the best physicians in our county for almost every possible disease, and in 1893 our family physician had me examined by the medical board of our home town. They pronounced my case hopeless, and told me if I had any business to fix up I had better attend to it at once; that I positively could not live much longer. When Christian Science found me, I had heart trouble in its worst form, and my family physician said that I was liable to go at any moment, that he had done all he could for me. I thought my only relief would be the grave. I could not rest, day or night; but my loving wife, who never tired, stayed by me all the time, until it seemed as if she must wear out. My father had died the year before with the same trouble, and I believed that I would go the same way.

At this time a Christian Science practitioner visited our neighborhood, and I went at once for treatment, for I was determined to give it a trial. I experienced marked improvement from the first, and am glad to say that I have not used any material remedy since my first treatment, and am restored to health. Christian Science has not only benefited me in a physical way but it has been a wonderful help spiritually. It has given me a better understanding of the Bible and a desire to read and study it. For these and many other blessings I am very thankful to God for sending His beloved Son to reveal the truth. I am also grateful to Mrs. Eddy, who has rediscovered and taught us the Christ-way of healing, not only from sin but from sickness. I would be ungrateful if I did not love the one who brought the light to us. My prayer is that infinite wisdom, Truth, and Love may keep me ever worthy to be found in the onward and upward march of the true Christian Scientist. Now I see what Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." What a happy thought to know that when in trouble we can call for Divine help. In the constant study and application of Christian Science I am content, knowing that only as I am obedient to God's commands can I prove my sincerity. I thank God for the help that came to me when I was in utter despair and darkness. Only those who have been led from the darkness of materiality to the light of Christian Science can understand how grateful I feel.—T. J. Lee, Epes, Ala.
