When about twenty-three years of age I was in a well-known institute taking treatment for the liquor habit, and about a year later I was in another "cure" for the same purpose; but it was the same old story. I could not stay away from liquor, try as hard as I would. I was fast becoming a drunkard, and losing one position after another. At last I tried treatments in Christian Science, and my case was met; but I made the mistake of thinking that I would not have to do any more work for myself, as I had been healed. Some people may have called my case a failure of Christian Science when I again broke out drinking, but it was not the fault of Christian Science; it was my own fault, because I would not read the Bible or study "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, nor would I even heed the admonition of Jesus, — "Watch." I started taking Christian Science treatment again, and after a hard battle the trouble was overcome. I now thank God that I was made to go through the mill again, as it has given me an understanding of God which I did not have after my first healing and I have found a God upon whom I can and do rely. It is now over two years since my deliverance, and I am working steadily in a better position than I ever had before. I also have the confidence and respect of my employers. I hope that some one will see this testimony who is looking into Christian Science, and if any doubt the power of Christian Science to cure the drink habit, I say let them investigate the subject, and they will find that Christian Science is the truth.
