When all material means had failed and I had no other hope, I turned to God and was healed. I found that Christian Science is the truth of Jesus' teaching for which I had been longing.

In May, 1912, I came to Christian Science through some Scientists living in a near-by town. I was suffering from a complication of diseases, namely, stomach disorder, anemia, heart disease, sleeplessness, and a serious bladder trouble for which the doctors advised an operation, as well as from extreme nervousness and mental depression. After having suffered this way for seven months, getting only such sleep as could be produced by opiates, it seemed to me I would either go crazy or die of a broken heart. I was healed by a faithful Christian Science practitioner after six weeks' treatment, a part of which was absent.
