For over twenty years I was a great sufferer, never being free at any time from pain or discomfort. During this time I "suffered many things of many physicians, ... and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse." Eight years ago I underwent a very serious operation; and the year following found me in a worse condition than before. I had long been a member of another church; and at this time a dear friend, who had been healed by Christian Science, urged me to try it. I had tried Christian Science at various times before, and had received some help; but not until it was presented to me by this dear woman did all my prejudice melt away, so that I became willing to depend wholly upon it. As a result of this surrender, the healing began to come immediately. That was seven years ago. Since then I have continued to improve, and am now in much better health than I have been for twenty-five years. Through Christian Science I have been able to change my mental attitude. The process has been a slow one, and my healing likewise; for lifelong habits of thought are hard to break. Friends who have not seen me since the days of my suffering are surprised to find the old look of fear and distress and despair gone from my face, and in their place an expression of joy and peace. I thank God that I am becoming transformed by the renewing of my mind.
In 1920 I received an invitation to accompany a party of American women on a tour of Europe en route to an international convention of the Council of Women in Christiania, Norway. This seemed a big undertaking for me; but I decided to go, and to trust God for strength for the journey. This He provided; and during many weeks of continuous travel all over Europe I Kept pace with the strongest, and came back weighing more than when I went away. Though in difficulties oft on sea and land, I was untroubled and undisturbed through them all.
Many wonderful healings have come to me and mine through Christian Science; for which I am most thankful. At one time I had what the doctors termed iritis in my right eye. Not receiving relief through Christian Science when the trouble first appeared, I went to Salt Lake City to consult a specialist. This doctor, together with one of the ablest medical doctors in that city, did all that could be done for me in a material way; but without avail. The eye seemed to grow worse. Finally I determined to cast aside the doctors' medicine and to rely upon God alone for help. As a result of this decision I slept soundly that night, for the first time in weeks; and when I awoke in the morning I Knew I was healed. The pain was gone, and with it the fear; and from that time to this I have had no return of the trouble. I rejoice all the day long for the knowledge of this saving truth, and long for the time when all mankind shall accept it.
