At a time when everything in this world seemed dark and dreary and life not worth living, I turned to God. He heard my prayer and led me to Christian Science.

For some time I had not been well, and finally the physician said that a surgical operation would be necessary. I did not recover my health as he had promised, but was much worse after the first operation, and in eight weeks I had to submit to another one. The second operation left me in such poor health that I became despondent, thinking I should be an invalid for the rest of my life.

When I asked for Christian Science treatment I did not expect to be healed of the physical difficulty, but rather of my despondency. However, my physical healing was almost instantaneous. I had also believed that I was losing my mind, and I experienced great relief when I learned that my mind was not confined to my brain, there being only one Mind, God, untouched by human beliefs and unharmed by drugs When I learned, through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, of the all-ness of God and the nothingness of evil, I began to experience greater health, peace, and joy in my home life than I had ever known. I was able to break the yoke of bondage which materia medica had seemingly made for me and to resume my household duties. My three children were very happy to see their mother well and able to go about once more. How wonderful it was to do my work with strength I had never known and never expected to have!
