When I learned of Christian Science, although still young, I was a mental and physical wreck. My life had been one of suffering from severe illness and the cares of life. I had had to give up my position as a teacher, since I was very ill with kidney and intestinal trouble, and also had a weak heart. The doctor held out little hope for my recovery. I was without means and dependent on the kindness of strangers. In this great distress divine Love found me. A lady who had heard of my sad condition came to my bedside one day and asked me if I did not want to read a book which would be very beneficial to me. When I said Yes, she brought me the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

After reading but a few pages I began to understand how erroneous my previous thinking had been, and with childlike trust I turned to the protection of God's love. In two weeks I had read the book carefully twice from beginning to end. After that I felt no more pain and was able to get up. In a few days I was entirely well. The healing had taken place solely through the understanding of the truth which had been conveyed to me through the study of the textbook. At that time I did not know anything about treatment by practitioners or Christian Science church services and meetings.

A few weeks after my healing, the problem of supply was solved in a similarly glorious manner. From an unexpected source a rather large sum of money was advanced me for the purpose of founding a school. All professional and economic difficulties in that trying inflation period in Germany and the so-called economic crises were for me nonexistent—for did I not have Christian Science to help me?
