As in the case of many others, Christian Science was brought to my notice after everything materia medica had to offer had failed. Even after submitting to an operation I was nothing bettered, but grew steadily worse. For eighteen years I was never free from pain and the doctors told me I need no longer look for a cure. Twelve years ago when it seemed all I could do was to await God's time, I received a letter from a distant relative telling me to purchase a book called "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which I did. I did not grasp its meaning at first, but all at once a light dawned in my consciousness while reading on page 1, "Thoughts unspoken are not unknown to the divine Mind." Then I started to study. Since then I have laid aside glasses, have been healed of chronic constipation, almost constant headaches, stomach trouble, heart trouble, badly frosted feet; chronic catarrh, and many other discordant conditions. There have also been many other wonderful healings in my home, such as of ptomaine poisoning, influenza, and pneumonia.

I am grateful for class instruction, for membership in The Mother Church, also in a branch church, and for the Sunday school. I seldom ever miss a meeting although I live five miles away. I am more grateful every day for the literature, and I am grateful that there was one found ready to give this wonderful truth to a waiting world. It is my earnest prayer that I may know more of this truth that does heal and save.
