Through the teachings of Christian Science I have found...

Through the teachings of Christian Science I have found health, peace, and happiness, and it is with deep gratitude that I acknowledge the joy which Christian Science has brought to me. For nine years I was a sufferer, depending upon materia medica. I had fallen once, twice, yes, three times under the weight of my cross, and I was afraid I should not rise again; but after I had lain unconscious for fifteen days and was so weak that no one but the nurse was allowed to enter my room, the aid of a Christian Science practitioner was asked. In a few hours consciousness returned and my mind was clear, although I did not know for some time that I was under Christian Science treatment; but when it was made known to me, I gave myself up wholly to it and decided that I would understand this teaching for myself. It was some months before I was entirely cured of my bodily ills, but I am now, after three years' study, a healthy woman. I have gained greatly in flesh, and my friends say they would not know me.

I have also found peace, "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding," and John's words, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.... And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away," mean much to me. I am truly thankful to God for my healing, also to Mrs. Eddy, who was able and willing to make known to us the power of Christ, Truth, in time of trouble.
