I am very grateful for the many blessings that have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science as taught in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. When I read an article or testimony in the Christian Science periodicals and am helped and uplifted in thought I think I would like to write and tell of some of the beautiful and helpful thoughts that come to me and perhaps thus help some one else. When I think what my life experience was before I read Science and Health and was healed, I am grateful, for I was like the rosebush in winter: I seemed dead to all that is beautiful and helpful. I had the desire to do right, but I was sick and bound by the belief of poverty, and when I read the precious promises in the Bible I wished that I could make them my own.

After being miserable for years and having failed to receive relief through medicine or material means I took Science and Health, which a neighbor had given to me, and thought that I would just glance through it. I did not think of reading it, as my eyes were troubling me and I had such severe headaches when I tried to read. But I did read, and read all forenoon and did not have on my glasses, which I had thought I could not see without. I had been reading with comfort, and found I was healed of eye trouble and of stomach and heart trouble, also of a cough that I had always been troubled with. Jesus said, "I and my Father are one," and we too can say it if we really love as Jesus loved and demonstrate that love in healing the sick and comforting the sorrowing.
