When a very young girl, I joined a denominational church, in the hope that I would find there a religion that would teach me how to live aright, and for many years I took part in the activities of this church, without questioning its teachings. There came a time, however, when I did ask questions, which were not answered. I closed my Bible for years and wandered in the wilderness of doubt, looking into various isms, but finding nothing that satisfied. During this period Christian Science was brought to my notice more than once, but for various reasons I failed to investigate it, until a near relative was instantaneously healed, through Christian Science, of gallstones, when she seemed to be very near death. This healing caused me to put aside my prejudices and to begin the study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. From that day, fifteen years ago, I have continued to study and apply the teachings of Christian Science. Step by step I have been lifted out of limitations of various kinds, and have been healed of dyspepsia, insomnia, bowel trouble, and many minor ailments. I have learned that my daily supply of good comes from God, and that it is not limited.

I am most grateful, however, for the understanding of God, which Christian Science gives to us, and for an explanation of the relation of Jesus to the Christ, which I had never understood, until studying the textbook. In gratitude for all the blessings which have come to me and to mine through Christian Science, I give this testimony.
