It is with sincere gratitude for the many blessings Christian Science has brought me that I give this testimony. My whole life has been transformed by it. I have been changed from a miserable, hopeless woman into a well and happy one. My heart overflows with love and gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy.

I had been under the doctor's care the greater part of the time for ten years, two years of which I was unable to care for myself, much less my family, and was cared for by a trained nurse part of the time. When I took up Christian Science I had for eight months been unable to sit up except for a small part of the time, and was suffering from extreme nervous prostration. I had been treated by seven different doctors who were all very kind and worked very faithfully to relieve me. Some of them advised an operation and the last two consulted said it was the only thing they thought they could do to relieve me, as I had taken too much medicine already. I was opposed to an operation and was so weak and run down they did not think best to operate until I was stronger, so advised my husband to try Christian Science, as they knew of some cures. We did so, as it seemed that was about all that was left untried.

At this time I was staying with a sister, hoping the change might bring some relief. The day a practitioner was called I was in bed, overcome with fear and discouragement, and told her there was no use trying to help me, as I knew I could never be well again; but the next day I was able to sit up, and was taken in an automobile to her office for treatment, and through her patient, loving work I am a well woman to-day. That was over three years ago and I am able to do anything I find it my duty to do. Our family has been helped in many ways. Last winter we were healed of influenza, and my son has been helped wonderfully during two attacks of rheumatism. I feel I owe a deep dent of gratitude to all who have so lovingly helped me to gain an understanding of Christian Science. My only hope of repaying it is to seek more earnestly the truth, that it may be given me to help some other who is in need.
