I am grateful that Christian Science is a demonstrable religion and a religion of Love. I shall never forget the love and spiritual uplifting I felt when I first began the study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I felt as though I were living in a new world. Indeed, it was the beginning of a new world for me, for I have had many healings, both mental and physical. I was a semi-invalid for many years with a difficulty which the doctors said was incurable. My uterus was bent double and had grown to the colon, which caused me much suffering all the time. After going to several doctors I finally asked for an operation, but the doctor said she would not be responsible for one. I then asked for help in Christian Science, and I gradually grew better until I was completely healed. As a result I can do much walking, which was something I had never been able to do. This was proof to me that God is the Great Physician and His operations are perfect and painless.

When I was very young I burned my hand, which caused the joint in my little finger to be stiff. I asked a practitioner for help for this condition, and in a few days the joint became supple and I could bend it quite freely. I am very grateful for the healing of weak eyes, for which I had worn glasses for many years. Intense pain caused by a badly sprained ankle was healed while I was reading the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly; and in three days all soreness and stiffness were gone. I was healed of influenza by reading the chapter on Prayer in the textbook. Another time I had been suffering intense pain in one of my feet, which made it impossible for me to walk. When I was buying slippers, I was told that the bones back of the toes had fallen, and that I was walking on the bones and they were pressing on the nerves. I went to the practitioner's home and had an instantaneous healing.

One of the healings that has been most wonderful to me was of a mental condition. It was almost impossible for me to meet strangers, and I could never talk to anyone I did not know quite well. I would turn cold and become speechless. This condition robbed me of so much I wanted to do, and I am sure I suffered as much mentally as I did physically. Now I can do active church work and can meet people with complete ease.
