More than twenty years ago I turned to Christian Science for help because I knew not what else to do. Vacillating between conflicting opinions of prominent physicians, it was in sheer helplessness that I took our baby to a Christian Science practitioner, knowing at least that Christian Science could not hurt her. Moreover, a friend whom I had known for several years had become an earnest student of Christian Science, claiming to have found her healing through its teachings, and had also become a practitioner. I knew that this friend was honest in her opinion of Christian Science, however different it might be from my own, and so it was with mingled feelings of doubt and fear that I took our baby to her.

After her first treatment baby had a good night's rest. For twenty months we had struggled under materia medica to find much needed help, until things had gone from bad to worse, and now under Christian Science a marked improvement was the immediate result, and in a few weeks the child was completely healed. Surely I had found man's extremity to be God's opportunity. The textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, was soon purchased and earnest study was commenced.

For many years I had suffered with chronic headches, but while studying Science and Health I found that my headaches had entirely disappeared, and it is now twenty-three years that I have enjoyed immunity from that suffering. Before becoming interested in Christian Science I had been receiving treatments for a very troublesome condition, from one of our most skilled and conscientious physicians, who finally said that an operation would be the only way out of my difficulties. Discouraged and frightened, I just drifted along for a few months, making the best of things, until Christian Science came into my experience and I was completely healed of this trouble while reading Science and Health.
