I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science did for me during a serious illness, when I had to realize that God is an ever present help.

After losing a great deal of blood and being confined to my bed in a hospital for six months by acute nephritis, I was left very weak. Apparently unable to work, I was sentenced by the doctors to remain idle the rest of my life, and was to follow a very strict diet. This diet was weakening me considerably, day by day. According to those about me I was drifting toward tuberculosis of the lungs, for I had had one attack of bronchitis after another. There was no medical solution, for, according to mortal belief, everything that might have strengthened my lungs served only to aggravate the kidney trouble.

For two years I remained very ill. About this time I had to go before the military examining board, and was definitely discharged with the statement, "Bad general condition." I was also suffering from heart trouble.
