I have received so many benefits from Christian Science that I feel impelled to tell others, that they too may come to this fountain of "living waters" and drink. I have only one regret, namely, that I did not know of it sooner. I was very antagonistic to what I believed it to be when I first heard of it, but "man's extremity is God's opportunity," and when the physicians could do no more for me I called in one of my neighbors, knowing she was a Christian Scientist, and asked for help. She helped as well as she could with her understanding, but advised me to call an experienced practitioner, which I did. I was a great sufferer from neuralgia and a bowel difficulty for many years. I also had an abnormal growth and a skin disease, while one eye was very abnormal and difficult to close. I went to New Mexico because I was told I could not live long in the climate of Texas. I was also told by the most reputable physicians that my stomach was in the worst condition of any they had ever treated. They were very kind and did all they could for me, but I was not helped.

My neighbor then wrote to a Christian Science practitioner and I began to improve at once. I am now a well woman and rejoicing daily in Christian Science. I am more thankful for the spiritual uplifting and a knowledge of God, good, than for anything else. I have become acquainted with divine Love, and the Bible is a new book to me and is my daily companion. I am so grateful that I can now "preach the gospel" of Love to others and am able to help others, as I have been helped and made perfectly whole. I want to show my appreciation by doing the works of Christ and living the truth as near as I am able. I feel that there is no security in being a Christian only as we bring forth the signs which Jesus said should follow them that believe. My heart is full of gratitude to God, also to Mrs. Eddy, the author of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," for the blessings I have received.
