I first heard of Christian Science over two years ago. Before that time I was in a state of weakness and mental depression, which condition may have been induced by my having drawn away from God. Still, I was earnestly searching after the truth, and through a wonderful dispensation was led upon the right road. My first knowledge of Christian Science was received through a lecture on this subject. I was filled with the greatest astonishment, as I had no idea there was something in the world which could free us from sin, disease, poverty, and all manner of inharmony. The impression which I received at this lecture, little as I understood the subject presented, proved such an inspiration and had so liberating an influence that I realized then and there that Christian Science meant salvation from all my troubles.

Soon after that evening I called on a practitioner of this teaching and asked her to treat me, which she did in the most loving way. Through her faithful, indefatigable work, I became a different woman. The application of the teaching freed me of a lung trouble which had stayed with me despite the fact that I had spent years at a sanatorium trying to get rid of it. Life at times was a misery on account of a nervous heart condition, which would bring me very low and make me feel very depressed. Starting from a false premise, I believed that I must accept and patiently submit to this trial as ordained by destiny. I have now learned to apply Christian Science under all circumstances and in all cases, no matter what their nature, and whenever properly understood and applied, I find it works beneficially.

I am most deeply grateful for having thus been able to acquaint myself with God, and also wish to thank all those who have helped and will continue to help me to follow the way which leadeth out of darkness into light.
