In 1925 one of my brothers, who had been greatly helped by Christian Science, spoke to me of this teaching, which immediately appeared to me as being very logical. I commenced to attend the Wednesday evening meetings and Sunday services. I also bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. At this time I was a victim of sickness and had been for many years. I was suffering from a nervous difficulty and from pernicious anæmia in such an advanced stage that my organs no longer functioned properly. The stomach was particularly affected, and I could take only a few spoonfuls of semolina. I suffered a great deal, both physically and mentally, and my household also was very much troubled. I had been treated in several hospitals and nursing homes and by good doctors, but without result.

While I was reading Science and Health, the nervous condition gave place to one of joy and peace, and this difficulty appeared to be healed; but the stomach trouble did not grow better. This caused me to ask help of a practitioner, who gave it lovingly and successfully. She helped me to understand God's creation, and that man is the image of the all-harmonious Father-Mother God, as taught in the Bible and Science and Health. I learned that, being the image of God, man is incapable of manifesting that which is no part of God. I greatly appreciate the definition of God as Mrs. Eddy has given it.

I am grateful for the understanding and proof that Truth is applicable to the destruction of all error, under whatever form it may present itself, and that Truth, God, is everywhere. I am grateful, for now I am healed and can eat any kind of food without having any difficulty. I thank God for all the good I have received mentally and physically through the teaching of our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy. I am very grateful to the practitioner who patiently helped me, for error seemed very persistent in my case. From the time I was treated I have never again felt any of the old symptoms, which proves that my healing is complete.
