On both sides of my family tubercular disease was said to be hereditary, and so embedded in my thought was the fear of this trouble that, in the words of Job, "the thing which I greatly feared" came upon me. I also suffered from another so-called incurable trouble, namely, organic heart disease. Some of the well known specialists of this country treated me, and my husband traveled with me in the hope of finding some climate in which I could live.
When physicians had done all they could for me and I was without hope, a friend said that Christian Science would heal me, and gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, which I read as one famished. I had Christian Science treatment for a year without any seeming results physically, but so steadfastly was my thought turned from person to Principle, that I was then able to take up the work for myself. After five years I was healed; the sunlight of Truth had vanquished every symptom of the disease.
Does five years seem long to labor and to wait, dear reader? Discouragement would have us so believe, but there were many things of which I needed to be healed, for I loved the world and the things therein. I do not now regret that my healing was slow, for it made me search the Bible and Science and Health more diligently for the Principle and law of spiritual being; and I am glad to say that it has been permanent. My prayer is that I may ever keep in consciousness the Christ-way, and prove by daily living this truth that frees mankind.—Carrie Lee Poole, Chicago, Ill.
