I have derived so much benefit from reading the testimonies in the Journal and the Sentinel that I am impelled to add my mite, hoping that it may be a crumb of comfort to some one searching for the truth.

I had never become affiliated with any church organization because I had not found in them that which satisfied me. I had suffered for many years from chronic stomach trouble and nervous prostration, on account of which I had taken long trips, chronic tonsillitis and many other discordant conditions, the worst of which perhaps was abdominal trouble. A physician had told me that I had enlarged tonsils and would have to have them removed.

Finally I had two very severe operations for the abdominal trouble, and during this time when the suffering was intense I prayed for relief, sometimes all night long, and when relief did not come I decided there was no God, and longed for death, which I thought was the end of all discord. I had been told at this time that Christian Science would heal me, but knowing nothing of it I could not see how it could be effective in my case. I had recovered from the operations, but was practically a nervous wreck when about a year later another member of my family took up the study of Christian Science for healing, and I was invited to attend a Sunday service. In that first service I knew that I had found the true religion.
