When I turned to Christian Science in the spring of 1915 it was my last hope. I was full of fear. I thought I should have to give up working because of poor health, and was afraid I might go to the poorhouse or become a burden to my family; in fact, I thought I was the most unhappy person in San Francisco. When I think of it now, it seems impossible to realize that I am the same person, so completely has my thought changed. The greatest blessing that has come to me in all these years is that I have learned to count my blessings—to be grateful. I am also learning to love more, and to see that the source of my supply is Spirit, God. Once, when a practitioner was helping me about some money I was afraid I should lose, he said that it was better I should lose it, if I thought that it was real substance. I did not then understand him. I do now.

I suffered acutely from hemorrhoids and had several hemorrhages. A doctor told me I should have to be operated upon; but this condition was completely overcome many years ago through Christian Science. I used to carry cathartics in my grip, thinking I could never do without them. This, too, was overcome long ago. I have also been healed of asthma and bronchitis.

I shall never be grateful enough to God for sending us such an unselfish person as Mrs. Eddy. She has taught me to understand the Bible, to love God, and more and more to appreciate what Jesus did for us. I had lost all faith in God before I took up Christian Science.
