George Filby with contributions from Claude Myles

I first heard of Christian Science about six years ago, at the time of the passing on of one very dear to me. I was at once attracted by the beautiful message of hope which this teaching presented, and realized what a great support even a little understanding of this glorious truth is. I was also able to realize that in God's kingdom there is no separation, and that Life is continuous and eternal. After that I made up my mind to go into the study of Christian Science more earnestly. Although belonging to an orthodox church and filling an important office there, I used to attend the Wednesday evening testimony meetings, and can never express all the gratitude I feel for the great outpouring of love from those who take part in them, and the source of strength these services were to me.

A few months after my wife passed on I was overtaken with all the symptoms of tubercular trouble, and eventually became so ill that I was unable to continue my daily work. Another serious ailment also presented itself, so that to material sense I was in a very bad condition. Throughout this experience I did not resort to any material remedy nor consult any medical practitioner, but at different times had Christian Science treatment. Finally, on going to the office of a practitioner one day and discovering that he was away and likely to be for a considerable time, the thought came clearly to me that I had to solve this problem myself and that perhaps I had been trusting too much to other people. I therefore decided to go to a quiet country place and there by God's help to make a demonstration of His power through earnest and prayerful study.
