It has been my experience that Christian Science treatment is the one perfect remedy for any inharmonious condition; that it not only changes the physical condition from one of inharmony to one of harmony, but at the same time brings about a brighter outlook on life, giving new courage and interest to the individual and enabling him to go forward with renewed ambition.

I was first attracted to Christian Science over twenty years ago by the beautiful character of a neighbor who was a member of a local Christian Science church. At the time I was seemingly not in need of any physical healing, but was drawn to this church and the teachings of Mrs. Eddy by the beauty of the religion and the satisfaction I found in listening to the services there, especially the Lesson-Sermons.

Later I had need of healing and asked for help from a practitioner for relief from a rather alarming nervous condition brought about by worry over domestic troubles. I received the physical healing promptly, and was shown the necessity of studying Christian Science for myself daily in order to get the full benefit of the healing truth continuously. This I began to do, purchasing for my use "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and securing the Quarterly and the authorized literature from the local Reading Room. Needless to say, the domestic difficulty was peacefully settled in time, and the worry entirely eliminated. Meanwhile I advanced rapidly in the business world and continued in excellent health. From that time on Christian Science has been my religion, my doctor, and my daily guide. It has always met my needs. It healed me of sorrow and the sense of separation quickly when my mother passed on. Serious heart trouble left me, with no traces found by a thorough medical examination.

Mrs. Eddy's teachings have made the Bible Lessons so clear that anyone may readily apply this Christ, Truth, to all individual problems with satisfactory results. It is only by using this Science from day to day that one may catch glimpses now and then of the immensity and perfection of this truth and sense its relationship to himself.

A little over two years ago I had protection and guidance under Christian Science treatment when I gave birth to a baby daughter. The entire experience was a happy one, and without the fear or anxiety that human education has led women to expect when the first child is born at a time called late in life. An additional remarkable feature of this particular healing was the fact that, although two weeks prior to the birth of the baby I fell on the ice and broke my elbow, under Christian Science treatment, and without the aid of a cast or other mechanical means, the arm was ready for use when it was needed in the care of the child. The child is normal in every respect, and has had no medical attention at any time.

Membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church, and participation in its activities, and the Christian Science literature have been sources of inspiration and help. The crowning blessing of my acquaintance with Christian Science was the privilege of class instruction.
