I wish to tell of my healing in Christian Science after passing through years of ill health. At one time I scarcely left my chair for about three years. Then five years later I came to see, almost suddenly, that there was no recovery for me through anything that could be done in a material way. I had made great efforts for health, but all had failed. I then for the first time heard of Christian Science, but on account of the way it was put before me I thought it was not for me.

In a very short time after this I read a pamphlet from The Christian Science Publishing Society, telling of the healing done in Christian Science. Just before I read this it had dawned upon me, from what I had been told, that I was well, but I did not know how to hold to it. But as I read of another's experience, coming into health from ill health, I held to the truth that was given there, and it stayed with me. I did not sleep for two nights, but each day got up feeling stronger. The third night I rested better, and the next day realized that I was perfectly well. The food that had not seemed sufficient for me was all I needed, for the truth stayed with me. I was so happy that people said I was all new and that they never saw any one so changed.

In all the years since then—over twenty—I have enjoyed good health and strength, though ailments have sometimes come up to be destroyed, either through my own work or the help of a practitioner. I never miss the study of the Bible and Science and Health. The Lesson-Sermon is my daily bread. I also enjoy all of our Leader's writings, as well as the Sentinel, Journal, and Monitor. I thank God for Christian Science.—Isabella Ledman, Detroit, Mich.
