When I first heard of Christian Science I was wishing that I might die rather than live, as I had doctored for years and had an operation, but my health did not improve. When a friend recommended that I try Christian Science, I had never heard of it before and had no faith in it. However, I said I would try it, for I felt that it could not hurt me, even if it did not do me any good. With the first treatment I was healed of paralysis of the bowels of eight years' standing. Then followed the healing of stomach trouble, the doctor having said the lining of my stomach was gone from my taking so much strong medicine. I also had heart trouble, dropsical and anaemic conditions, astigmatism, and nervousness, having had nervous prostration twice. These were all healed about twenty years ago. Later I was healed of appendicitis. The appendix broke and I had peritonitis and a complication of diseases which doctors claimed one could not have and live; but in three weeks and two days I was back at the office, after being within "the valley of the shadow of death."

I had to learn another lesson of faith and trust in God, when my two dearest loved ones passed on, but as there is no life in matter to lose I know they are not dead, but are going right on living and loving. Life is eternal.

I am truly grateful for the many blessings that have come to me through Christian Science, and my constant prayer is for better understanding, that I may help others as I have been helped. I am also grateful for the periodicals, the church services, the practitioners, and Mrs. Eddy, who so lovingly gave to the world this wonderful truth.
