Many years ago Christian Science was brought to my notice but as I had had very strict denominational teaching and much warning to beware of any new teaching, I took little notice of the subject. Six months passed by and I was in greater need of the help that only Christian Science can give and allowed a practitioner to talk to me, and upon a second interview to treat me. I soon realized that I had found the balm of Gilead. A real search of the Bible for proof that God does heal was begun, and there was soon established in thought the fact that God is a present help in time of need. Our financial condition was very bad but the thought came to me that the power that healed my physical condition could operate equally well to heal our limited sense of supply. For several years we continued to apply our understanding of Christian Science to the successful unwinding of our business snarls, and great was the reward, for several mortgages were paid in full. The largest mortgage seemed slow, and three times when it appeared as though we must meet it, and with no visible means at hand, it was sold and the purchaser did not want the money at that time, thus proving Mrs. Eddy's words in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 326), "Working and praying with true motives, your Father will open the way."

We have had many proofs of God's presence in the healing of disease, including diphtheria, scarlet fever, neuralgia of the stomach, and many other ills. So many trials and tribulations and discords of various kinds have been corrected that words fail to express the gratitude I feel for the help Christian Science has been to me.
