Christian Science has taught me that the true and living God does not send sin and sickness. This has been a great blessing to me, for it is so different from previous teaching. My home was on a ranch in the mountains. I had been ailing with heart trouble for a number of years and at last began to suffer from high blood pressure and fast failing sight. A physician was called and I was advised to go to an eye specialist, which I did, and he told me, after I had received treatment without any improvement, that he could not reach my case and advised me to go to a heart specialist in the city, which I did, only to be told that I had a leaky heart and that that was the cause of all my trouble. The heart specialists also told me that they could not cure me, but might help me, and that I must have a change of climate. I was given three or four different kinds of medicine and put on a strict diet. Meantime we moved from our ranch to the city. My condition was not much changed and I was still taking the medicine.

In the place where I was living was a Christian Scientist. I noticed the Christian Science literature on his table, and I asked him if he was a Scientist; he replied that he was, and gave me a little book to read. It seemed good, but I did not understand it, and went to him and asked him to explain it, which he did, plainly and beautifully, and I knew I had never heard anything like that before. I could not stop at that but went and bought a copy of Science and Health and studied it, and with the loving help of the Scientist I was permanently cured of heart trouble and all other ailments. I destroyed the medicine and have never had any in the house since.

Later on a lump developed in my breast,—materia medica would have called it a tumor; but Christian Science has healed it and has overcome all my difficulties, for which I am most grateful.
