All that I am and all that I have I owe to Christian Science...

Sarah S. Dyches

All that I am and all that I have I owe to Christian Science. From early girlhood I was a great sufferer from organic troubles. Each day brought a burden of concealed pain and a dread of what the next dawn would have in store for me. Loving parents sent me from hospital to hospital, hoping that relief and health might be found. After suffering many things at the hands of our best surgeons, I was finally told that there was no use seeking further for medical relief; that too much had already been done, and that it would have been better had I never seen a hospital or a surgeon. I was also told that I would be a sufferer the rest of my life, but not to be disturbed, for there were many others. I left this hospital full of disappointment, determined to be brave, but with a heart full of bitterness.

At this time a sister gave me "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy to read, and there came to me a wonderful revelation of a God who had never afflicted, but who did love and care for me and would heal all my suffering. Without a doubt or fear that this God, whom Christian Science reveals, would heal me as He had healed others, I sought a practitioner; and as a result of the first treatment I was enabled to remove a heavy body brace, and the same day walked several miles. As more of the truth unfolded I was healed of rupture and adhesions.

It is with a heart overflowing with loving gratitude to God for His wonderful goodness, as revealed to us through Science and Health, that I give the above testimony as a witness to the healing power of God's Word, spiritually understood. More precious than the physical healing are the peace, harmony, and happiness within, which come to me daily from the spiritual uplift that I derived from the Bible, together with all of Mrs. Eddy's writings. I am also grateful for our periodicals, as each one brings its message of comfort and inspiration for greater consecration that I may with honest purpose strive to reflect the Mind of Christ, in healing the sick and comforting the sorrowing.
