Unbounded gratitude urges me to relate some of the great blessings granted me since the truth was presented at a time when I was in great need. For many years I had experienced distress in head, also chronic stomach and bowel troubles. For a long time I had been living in wrong ways, and this finally resulted in my leaving my family. Then came financial reverses, remorse, inability to prosper in business as formerly, loss of courage, fear of insanity, and thoughts of suicide.
Christian Science was presented to me but I refused it. Two weeks later, when I was in the depths of despair, it was presented once more and I grudgingly consented to consult a practitioner, although only on matters of business. When the appointment was made I had little thought of talking of my physical troubles, for I had been an unbeliever in the Bible for many years and did not think Christian Science could effect physical cures. I felt foolish as soon as I had agreed to the appointment, but after being with the practitioner a few minutes it was a relief to tell all my troubles, and I completely unburdened myself. The truths of the Bible were presented to me in a new way, and I daily thank God that I recognized the truth. It came to me as a light from heaven; it comforted and surrounded me. I at once felt different: I was awakened spiritually. I realized the error I was in, and resolving from that moment to live a new life and to worship the only true God, I was given strength to further my resolves.
