Filled with gratitude to God for all the help I have experienced in Christian Science, and hoping that I may help on his way someone who is still suffering, I should like to tell of my healing of so-called incurable tuberculosis of the lungs.

In the spring of 1923, after I had been feeling run down and weak for a long time, I was suddenly taken very ill. Thanks to Christian Science treatment, which I had asked for, I recovered, and in the summer thought I was well again. And I might have been, but I allowed error, in the form of grief and worry, to occupy too much of my thought. The result was that the following winter I was taken seriously ill and was confined to my bed for nearly four months.

In the spring of 1924, with God's help and under the loving and patient guidance of a Christian Science practitioner, I had recovered to such an extent that I thought of going into the country. A physician to whom I, however, went for examination asked me in an alarmed voice, "Madam, how did you get here?" I said, "On the street car." "Yes—and then?" he continued. "Then I walked." He was quite alarmed at this, and told me I had a very dangerous lung trouble. I had not known this before, but I clung to the truth the best I understood. So, towards the end of May, I set out on my journey. I left my home at six o'clock in the morning and arrived at my destination at six in the evening. It was pouring rain and I had half an hour's walk uphill.
