Over ten years ago the thought came to me very clearly...
Over ten years ago the thought came to me very clearly that if I could only get to Boston, Massachusetts, I could be healed; but little did I know the good that God had in store for me. Shortly after arriving in Boston I met a dear friend and asked her if I could go to church with her on Sunday. To my surprise she told me that she went to The Mother Church. I gladly went with her, and ever since that Sunday I have attended a Christian Science church regularly wherever I have been. The joy, peace, and love that were reflected in The Mother Church I shall always cherish. Everyone radiated such love that I knew I had found the truth. It was my privilege to spend several years in Boston, and the love and inspiration received while there will always remain in my consciousness.
At a time of great need for relief from pain this dear friend told me about a Christian Science practitioner, and through his loving consecration I was healed of a physical difficulty that had caused me great suffering for a number of years. The physicians had diagnosed it as an acute case of autointoxication or intestinal poisoning. I should like to mention that before accepting Christian Science I had tried a great many forms of material medicine for relief from this difficulty, but all to no avail. Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, through divine inspiration, assures us in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 162), "Christian Science heals organic disease as surely as it heals what is called functional, for it requires only a fuller understanding of the divine Principle of Christian Science to demonstrate the higher rule." Words are wholly inadequate to express my deep gratitude for this beautiful and thoroughly convincing proof or demonstration brought about through the application of Christian Science.
It took several years of earnest study on my part and occasional help from this loving practitioner before some other difficulties were completely healed; among them were chronic constipation of over twenty years' duration, nervousness, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, self-condemnation, self-pity, resentment, and sorrow. Through the realization of my at-one-ment with God I was instantaneously healed of the thought of separation when my dear sister passed on. It is now nearly five years since I had this healing and it has been permanent and complete.
