Several years ago I was obliged to give up my work on account of a severe attack of nervous exhaustion and stomach disorder, which left me in a very bad state, unable to concentrate my efforts on any right activity and filling me with thoughts of many ailments. The doctors gave me much medicine and arranged a diet, but my condition soon became unbearable. X-ray photographs were taken, and it was suggested that I had better submit to an operation to relieve the condition; but this I would not do. It was at this critical period, when I did not know what to do or which way to turn, that Christian Science was presented to me. With the kind help of a Christian Science practitioner I was enabled to return to work within two days, after suffering for several weeks. Mortal mind kept arguing that I had lost much weight and might suffer a relapse; but, thanks to the sowing of the seed of Truth in my consciousness, I was soon enabled to overcome all this false sense testimony.

Heretofore I thought I knew something about God, but I soon found that the god I had known was materialistic, one whom I feared and never looked to in time of need. But Christian Science has taught me that God is Love, One who is ever present, and the healer of discord of every description. The desire for cigarette smoking left me instantly, and I have had no inclination to resume this habit. I have been healed of many forms of discord, more particularly of insomnia, attacks of melancholy, and lack.

Christian Science has taught me that if we are honest and faithful in our endeavors to seek the truth, we shall reap what we sow. This came to me very clearly some time ago. I had neglected the study of the Lesson-Sermon and the reading of Christian Science literature to such an extent that I was soon involved in material thinking and in the grip of many of my former ailments. I am grateful to say that with help of a practitioner I was enabled to continue with my daily work, and in two weeks' time showed no sigh that anything had troubled me.
