Rose G. Wells

Just nine years ago Christian Science was brought to my notice. For several years previous to that time my health had been failing. I had severe stomach and female trouble, besides a distressing nervous affection. I was continually under a sense of strain and excitement, which with my other trouble seemed to be wearing away my physical strength. I feared and dreaded the long, weary nights, which were almost wholly sleepless. The thing I feared most was insanity, which I felt to be creeping upon me. Either my husband or children were constantly with me, and though they knew my condition they could not possibly realize my suffering. I was from time to time under the treatment of different physicians, all of whom were very attentive, kind, and sympathetic, but they failed to give me permanent relief. Among them was the physician who had the care of our family for upwards of twenty-five years. He gave us to understand that there was little hope for my recovery, and my suffering was so intense that I felt I could not hold on to the spark of life much longer. Powerful medicines were my only reliance, yet I feared that they would cease helping me, and asked our physician if I could not stop for a while. He replied that I must continue taking them for years.

But, thanks be to God, Christian Science was brought to me, and I was freed from the dreadful bondage. Soon after hearing of Christian Science I procured the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and commenced reading it. I became intensely interested and devoted all my time during the winter and following spring to the study of the book. Then the time came when I understood that I had come to the parting of the ways, which was to decide between materia medica and Christian Science. I chose the latter, and destroyed all the material remedies in the house. After about five weeks of reading Science and Health (I had no treatment from practitioners), I realized that I was entirely healed, not only of one, but of all the diseases. All physical ailments had disappeared without any effort on my part, as I did not know at that time anything about giving a treatment. None of these ailments have reappeared during the past nine years, and I am to-day a perfectly well woman.

The understanding of Truth, I know, is utter destruction to everything unlike God, good. I owe many thanks and deep heartfelt gratitude to our dear Leader for this glorious truth which frees us from all material bondage.—Mrs. Rose G. Wells, Prescott, Ariz.
