I rejoice in the opportunity publicly to praise God for His revelation of Christian Science to this age. I believe, and have proved by fruits of reformation and healing, that Christian Science, as revealed to us by Mary Baker Eddy, is the same truth that God revealed to Christ Jesus.

As a graduate medical nurse I was mentally and physically ill. With no promise from materia medica or other material means for future peace, happiness, health, or even human life, I turned radically to learn of God through the study of the Bible and of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, which gives the spiritual interpretation of the Bible.

The first opportunity I had to depend upon God for physical healing was an infected finger; the pain extended up the arm into the axilla. I asked a Christian Science practitioner for treatment, and the healing was completed in a few hours. I did not lose the finger nail. Pneumonia was healed in less than twelve hours. Valvular heart lesion, acute and chronic inflammatory and muscular rheumatism, necrosis of the bone, and sick headaches were slowly healed by Christian Science treatment and study; and I saw a most obstructive growth of adenoids entirely disappear under this treatment. For several years previous to this I had surgical and medical treatment, including serum treatment, and I am deeply grateful to the doctors and nurses, and all concerned, for their generous and loving kindness.
