The greatest blessing that ever came into my life, and the one for which I am most thankful, is Christian Science. It has taught me faith, hope, patience, courage, love, and has given me the peace that passes human understanding.

My first healing was of dizzy spells, with which I had been afflicted for seven years, two doctors telling me there was no cure, although they could and did relieve me; but the spells always came back. I was miserable and very unhappy. I had reached the place where I never went to church, never looked into the Bible, and had cased to pray to God, who seemed so far away and either could not or would not answer prayer. Then a friend spoke to me of Christian Science, telling me of a friend of hers who had been healed when all else had failed. I called on this lady, and she assured me I could be healed. I asked for Christian Science treatment, bought "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and in three weeks was perfectly healed of the dizzy spells; and there has never been a return. This healing occurred some twenty-six years ago. Oh, I was hungry for what Science and Health revealed to me: the God of love, God at hand, who sends no sickness, no sin, no death! I took this "little book" and read it; and through evil report and good report I have clung to it. I bless God every day of my life that our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gave to a hungry and sin-filled world Science and Health.

The battles with self have been many, but Truth has always been victorious when this Science has been rightly applied. An attack of inflammatory rheumatism was quickly healed when I realized that "Life is Spirit, never in nor of matter" (Science and Health, p. 264). A sprained ankle was healed when I overcame a thought of resentment. A broken wrist was healed in four weeks' time with no other treatment than Christian Science. For the physical healings I am truly grateful; but only a life corrected can express the gratitude for the spiritual uplift that has been mine.
