It is with a heart filled with gratitude and love that I write this testimony, hoping it will be a help to others. A short time ago I was asked by a lady, over the telephone, if I were free to nurse for her. She explained that most of her household were very ill with influenza. I told her I was sorry I could not help her as I was then on a case, and I went away from the telephone feeling very sorry for her and with a mental picture of the suffering family. Within two hours of this conversation over the telephone I found myself suffering from every symptom of influenza, and I felt so ill I thought I must ask a practitioner for help, but there were reasons why I could not do so. I then saw clearly that I must to the work myself, and realized very clearly that God is here, a very present help, and that I had let my thought become filled with thoughts of disease instead of knowing only good. I at once tried to blot out of my thought this false picture and to keep my thought just filled with Truth and Love, and though when I went to bed the suggestion came to me that I would soon wake feeling much worse I just put the thought from me and in a few hours awakened to find that every symptom of the disease had vanished and I was feeling uplifted in body and every way.

Christian Science has altered my whole life. When first I started to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" almost ten years ago, I never knew what it was to feel well and happy; now I only know perfect health. It has sustained me during the most strenuous times, once while I nursed a sick baby and could not go to bed for a fortnight. It has also helped me to overcome lack. When I realized that all supply is spiritual then I found I had more than I needed materially. I am filled with gratitude for the spiritual awakening, and for the joy and peace it brings to me when I have to be away from those who are dear to me, in knowing that there is only the one Mind. I am grateful to Mrs. Eddy, who gave us Science and Health.
