It is more than ten years since I turned to Christian Science for the physical healing, which came to me slowly, as I persisted in looking for physical regeneration before the "mental purgation." For two years after this healing I tried to stay within my old church home, as my pastor rejoiced with me over the healing and said that we needed all the good that we could get in our churches. He did not at all object to my reading the Christian Science literature, so I settled down, trying as it were to pour "new wine into old bottles;" but all who have followed this method know that it is a mistaken one. At the end of two years I was glad to take my stand for this truth that makes us free, and to lay aside man made creeds. I have thus been enabled to love God more and in a larger measure than I had ever thought possible, and am learning to love my fellow-men. In the past eight years I have seen in my own family healing from serious lung trouble, an aggravated case of kidney and bladder trouble, chronic headache which was believed to be inherited, and many other discords, all of which have disappeared through the understanding of Christian Science as it is taught in our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." Words cannot express my gratitude to the author of this book, Mrs. Eddy, for her patient, persistent toil for the betterment of humanity. Only in striving to follow the Master as she has shown us, in obedience, love, and humility, can we express gratitude.
