In the year 1900 I was healed of a minor physical trouble through Christian Science. At this time I bought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. For some years I made a casual study of it, never delving into its real depths.

A few years later I was married to a minister's son. The father soon influenced him to great bitterness toward Christian Science. At this time I became an invalid, and was in this condition for more than three years. Finally, when standing within the shadow of the "valley," I was permitted to have treatment in Christian Science, with the result that I was instantaneously healed of my diseases. My poor, emaciated body was freed from pain, and the mental freedom knew no bounds. The peace, light, and joy that flooded my being was not of the earth, but direct from the one divine Mind. After this experience I had other physical troubles that did not yield through the help of the practitioner, and it was only through years of close, persistent study and application of the truths of Christian Science that I was freed. I am grateful for this, for it was thus that I got my growth, as I never could have done without these experiences. Since that time my husband has been healed of tuberculosis in the last stages. He also was healed of a severe case of tonsillitis, and of Spanish influenza. Our little daughter was healed of spinal meningitis in one treatment.

The thing that makes me happiest at this time is that I am learning that evil in all its forms is no part of man.
