In the fall of 1912 I attended a Wednesday evening meeting in a Christian Science church for the first time, and I loved the service and immediately got a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. In a very short time I was healed of the use of tobacco and intoxicants, not having used or had any desire for either since. I have not missed a service since then when at home. I have had beautiful experiences since I have been a student of Christian Science. Last year, with the aid of a practitioner, I was healed of chronic constipation. About a year ago I met with an accident, as the result of which I was laid up in bed for four days and was helpless. On the fifth day I could sit up, and, through the untiring work of a practitioner, I was up and walking around in a little while and was at work again in a little more than a month.
My most beautiful and wonderful experience was three years ago on the day of prayer which was observed in the United States. We of course had service in our church. I usually sat about the same distance from the Readers and could barely hear the service, but that day I heard every word from first to last, very clearly and distinctly; in fact I never heard anything like it in my life before, and I realized God's presence, which was so wonderful to me that I shall never forget it. We say we are so grateful for all Christian Science has done for us, but we cannot express our gratitude in words, and can only do so by trying to live a better life day by day, and by loving God supremely.
