It is now several years since I took up the study of Christian Science. At that time I was very much in need of healing, both physical and mental. The way seemed very dark, and I used to wonder what it was all about, and what I was really living for. I was at this time dragging out a very useless existence in a government hospital, trying to overcome pulmonary tuberculosis, which the doctors said had been contracted during my service overseas as an army nurse during the late World War.

I had become somewhat reconciled to the thought of always being an invalid in this respect, and was under the impression that I might go on for some time, provided I lived in a high, dry climate and did not exert myself much. However, on being examined one day by the doctor I was informed that I was threatened with another so-called incurable disease. I became very much alarmed, and as I had no confidence in an operation for this particular disease, having witnessed many such operations and their failures during my hospital training, I immediately declared I would never consider an operation.

Having heard of Christian Science, I decided to give it a trial. I immediately got into touch with a Christian Science practitioner, and the truth of being was revealed to me for the first time. Words cannot express the wonderful outlook Christian Science gave me. All fear of the disease was removed in a few treatments. Shortly after this, I took a few treatments from another practitioner in another city, for although I had been released from the hospital I still retained some fear of tuberculosis. I am very grateful to say I was perfectly healed. I have been called upon to undergo examinations many times since I became a government employee, but each time my condition has been found perfect.
