In humble gratitude to God and in loving appreciation of our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I desire to give the following testimony.

Christian Science came to me in 1920. At that time I was affected by such physical weakness that I could hardly walk. I spent my days on a couch in our library, reading in a general way. Drugs and stimulants had failed; therefore I had made up my mind to think as little as possible about myself. I tried to get enough rest and courage during the day to make a pleasant home for my husband when he returned in the evening for dinner.

It was through the visit of a loving cousin and the talks I had with her that I felt the desire to purchase the textbook. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I believe that neither my cousin nor I thought of a possible healing of the weakness. but only of the interest the book would be to me in my solitary hours. I had always been a keen Bible student. While religious instruction had disappointed me when I was young, my great wish had been to find the truth about the life of Jesus and his miraculous works. I read the textbook over and over again; it was clear and beautiful, and it so absorbed my attention that I could hardly get away from it even to go for a drive.
