I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing for myself but for my husband, who was seeking help. For many years he suffered from nervous indigestion, for which the physicians could give him no relief. For two years he was unable to attend to business. In 1914 Christian Science was presented to us and since that time, with few exceptions, he has been able to attend to business regularly. This healing was very slow, but constipation was overcome in the first treatment and many other conditions have been met.

I have been healed of a severe case of hemorrhoids. I feared I would have to have an operation. Through reading the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, the fear of an operation was overcome, and I was relieved to a great extent; the condition presented itself, at intervals, however, for three years. I did not ask for help, but in speaking with a dear friend I was told that God's work is complete. When that realization came to me I was healed. I have also been healed of colds, fear of infection, and mumps. My son has been healed of constipation, colds, chicken pox, eye trouble, and a severe case of influenza.

For many years before coming into Christian Science I was a constant reader of the Bible, which I dearly loved but never understood. Through reading the textbook the beautiful promises in the Bible are constantly unfolding to me, and my love for God and man is ever increasing. For the physical healings and the happiness it has brought to our home I am most grateful. I am also most thankful to God, to Christ Jesus the Way-shower, who proved God's love for man, also to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who taught us that God's love for man is the same now as it was in Jesus' time, and to the practitioner who has been so loving and patient in showing me the way to work out my own problems. My desire is to prove my gratitude by giving loving service to our glorious cause.
