So many wonderful blessings have come into my life...

So many wonderful blessings have come into my life through Christian Science that I feel constrained to tell at least a part of them. It was in the year 1887 that I first heard the words "Christian Science." Upon inquiry I was told that it was a new method of healing the sick, the one Jesus had used. I had been suffering from a nervous disease for a number of years, and it gradually undermined my health, until I was broken down and, indeed, in a miserable plight. Health and strength to enable me to care for a family were a necessity; instead, I seemed hastening to a premature grave. The outlook on life was dark and discouraging. We had exhausted all ordinary means of restoration, including change of climate and outdoor life. The demands on my time and strength increased as the children grew.

About this time my husband heard of Christian Science and took me to a practitioner. During the conversation which followed, the practitioner told me it was God who healed. I had always believed in God in the old way, and that the Bible was His revealed word. The Scientist made some explanations regarding Christian Science healing. She remarked, "It is God that heals." I knew from that moment my healing was assured. In a short time I was entirely recovered of the disease, and there has been no return of it.
