Christian Science has been my only physician since I was a child. However, it is only in recent years that I have been an active student of this Science. During these years I have been increasingly grateful for the good foundation laid by my mother and my Sunday school teachers in this truth that makes us free. Through the knowledge of the truth about God and man, as taught by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I have been helped in many ways, physically and mentally.

It was not until this past winter that I ever had any difficulty which mortal mind would call dangerous: then I had typhoid fever. On account of my work as a teacher, I occupied a position where I was well known to many people who were antagonistic to Christian Science. A great deal of fear of criticism had to be overcome. Through the aid of the loving Christian Science practitioner who was called upon to help us, all of this was handled. My healing was not immediate, but was more repid than human belief usually concedes is possible from this disease. In the course of two months I was back at work again. I am grateful, not alone for the physical healing, but more particularly for the greater understanding of God which I have gained through this experience.

That God is always available was demonstrated to me in another way about a year ago. It was necessary for me to take an oral examination over work convering some years of study. My fear of the examination was overcome, through the help of a practitioner, by the knowledge that God is ever present, and that there is in reality but one Mind. When the time came for the examination, it was a joy instead of an ordeal; and it was passed with high honors. I am indeed grateful for the knowledge I have of Christian Science, and to Mrs. Eddy for her revelation of this truth to men.
