My heart overflows with humility and gratitude when I think of what Christian Science has meant to me since it found me, thirteen years ago.

I was not happy even when a little girl, and as I grew older this condition became worse. Life seemed to hold nothing but sorrow and anxiety. Being the youngest of a large family, and seeing them all (except one sister who also took up the study of Christian Science) pass on in the prime of life under the best medical care, I felt it useless to struggle on. All that a kind husband and loving children could do did not bring happiness until I began to work my way out of the darkness towards the blessed light of Truth as Christian Science teaches us to do.

Gradually, as fear and anxiety lessened, physical ailments began to disappear, such as catarrh of the head, which I had had all my life. An eardrum had also been pierced and my hearing was impaired. I had never been able to go a day without medicine for the catarrh. Then followed healings of a spinal trouble which had caused me great suffering at times; also the healing of indigestion, appendicitis, fallen arches, and a growth. I cannot express my gratitude in words when I think of what Christian Science has done for me. When I find myself singing while getting breakfast for my family, and think of the depression that used to be with me at that time of the day, I often ask myself, Can this be I? My love and gratitude for Mrs. Eddy grow with my understanding.
