Eleven years ago I was told by one of the best physicians in the place where I was then residing that he could do no more for me. My husband therefore decided to take me East, so as to be nearer my relatives. A physician said, "I doubt if you will get farther than Kansas City with her." But I reached my destination, and there sought again medical aid, but with no improvement in the condition. In two years, being no better, I decided to return to California.

I feel that I was divinely guided to do this, for in a short time I informed a dear friend that I wished to try her Christian Science (as I called it then) for a healing. I know Love was guiding me all the way. I did truly "hunger and thirst after righteousness;" and my desire was met, not instantaneously, but beautifully. Each day as I traveled on this mental journey from sense to Soul I felt a sense of uplift, and I just rejoiced all the way along. I was so happy in studying that I forgot my object in seeking Christian Science until it dawned upon me that I had been healed of all my ailments.
