In the fall of 1905, during the illness of a dear sister who was reaching out for healing in Christian Science for a chronic trouble which material remedies had failed to relieve, the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, was given me to read. After a few weeks spent in the perusal of this book I decided that I would like a copy of my own, and straightway purchased one. During the weeks that followed I did little else than study this book, as I wished to help the sister who needed the healing so much. I, however, approached the subject with an open mind, knowing that if it held anything of truth it would be revealed to me, and through this study I was healed of a bowel difficulty dating from childhood, also of another trouble which had caused much suffering. To me this was ample proof that the healing taught by Jesus was still available to mankind, and I at once decided that my future must be guided by its teaching.
With three young children in my care it required considerable courage to give up all material remedies, and many times comfort and assurance have come to me through these words from Science and Health (p. 494): "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." Inflammatory and sciatic rheumatism and the ailments common to children have been promptly overcome, either through my own efforts or the help of a practitioner. For all these proofs of God's protecting care I am indeed grateful, as well as for another healing, which occurred about three years ago. For five years before that I had suffered from hemorrhoids which at times became aggravated and painful. While I never had a doubt of the power of Truth to heal me, my own efforts to demonstrate over this condition brought only temporary relief, so finally, when the suffering became so severe that it seemed unwise to struggle longer, I asked a practitioner for treatment and was healed instantaneously. The healing has been permanent.
Financial and home problems have been wonderfully solved, and through the leading of Truth I have had the benefit of class instruction. I am grateful for the privilege of seeing our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy; the memory of her sweet face is ever with me as proof that the truth she gave to the world had enriched and strengthened her own life beyond measure. I am grateful also to our Publishing Society, which through the foresight of our Leader is sending out the daily, weekly, and monthly messengers of Truth. The Monitor is a missionary to the whole world, and when it is universally read must heal the thought of the people and establish right thinking with all.
