It is several years since I began the study of Christian Science

with contributions from Christian Peddie

It is several years since I began the study of Christian Science. I came to it, believing that I needed an operation. I already had undergone a very serious operation, and the same condition which necessitated it had appeared again. My sister, although not a Christian Scientist, advised me to try Christian Science. She knew a lady who had been planning to have an operation, but some one had told her to try Christian Science; and although a bed had been engaged for her in a hospital, it was not required; she was healed. I went to the Christian Science Reading Rooms and was told where to find a practitioner. Treatment was lovingly given me; and a few weeks later I was healed. All the pain and fear left me, and I felt as if I could sing with joy.

I had always been a very bad traveler. I could not go on a journey without having train sickness. About a year ago I was asked to undertake a piece of business which necessitated traveling a distance of forty miles twice a day for a fortnight. At first I refused. It seemed as though I was unable to undertake it, and was too nervous to work before an audience, as I was expected to do; but as the offer came to me again, it looked as if it were the right thing to do; so I accepted it. I had Christian Science treatment, and was sustained, supported, and upheld on those journeys and in my work, some of which I had not done before. I felt quite confident and happy all the time. For this proof of the ever-presence of divine Love, I am very grateful, but more so for the spiritual uplift.

I am most grateful to God, to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and to Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, for her life of courage, standing alone as she did before the world. For all the literature, but especially for Mrs. Eddy's works, I am deeply grateful.
