Although a member of an orthodox church, I was starving for spiritual food, and even when it was close at hand, did not know how to find it. One morning, eight years ago, I awoke praying for the light, and in less than three months it came to me in the healing of my husband through Christian Science, when apparently at death's door.

Previous to this I had suffered for some years with a growth which was eventually removed, but a displacement was left that caused great suffering at times, medical treatment giving me practically no relief. During a particularly bad attack, when I had been in bed for several days, I received instantaneous healing after one Christian Science treatment. Though fear that the trouble might return came up afterward a few times, it was easily overcome by my own understanding of the truth. I have also been healed of chronic bowel disorder of many years' standing, and of other ailments.

These experiences are truly the loaves and fishes, but they are not to be compared with the breaking of bread in the dawn of the new life, the realization of man's oneness with his Maker. In Christian Science I have found that peace which passeth understanding. The Bible when studied in the light of this new-old Science is wonderfully illumined, and no other book is so dear to me or so much read.
