It is difficult indeed for me to find words to express what Christian Science has done for me.

For more than two years I seemed to be in the most depressed condition: I could not sleep, lost all desire for food, and had no interest in anything. I gave up everything except self, at home and everywhere else. As I had been a student of Christian Science for over five years, several practitioners had worked for me, but without apparent good results. My thought dwelt too much on place; it seemed that I could not get in any place which was right. Now, of course, I know that place has nothing whatever to do with it.

After I had spent most of my time away from home, with friends and in the King's Daughters' home in my own town, with no desire whatever to stay in my own home, and had exhausted our limited finances, my loving daughter, in desperation, put me in the state hospital. The hatred I seemed to have for that place is indescribable. I stayed there for months with no visible improvement. The thing that made my suffering so intense was that I did not seem to have the ability to love anybody or anything.
