I have had so much help from testimonies given in the Christian Science periodicals that I feel I cannot delay any longer in sending mine.

I had undergone a major operation, and after coming out of hospital was very weak and ill. I had no money and was not fit to seek an engagement, my work being that of an actress. I had no home of my own, but a club where I generally stayed kindly gave me a room. While I was walking along the street one day, feeling very unhappy and afraid of the future, I saw a poster advertising a Christian Science lecture, which was to be given on the following day. I decided to go, for it was to be given at a hall close by.

After hearing this lecture and reading the literature which was handed to me as I left the hall, I knew that God had lovingly answered my prayer for happiness; I also knew that this religion was the "pearl of great price," and that in it lay my freedom and salvation. I went home and discarded all the medicine I possessed, and I have never taken any since. By studying the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I soon became strong, well, and happy. This was over thirteen years ago, and since that time Christian Science has been my only help in overcoming many difficulties, including a heart attack, when life seemed to be passing from me, rheumatoid arthritis, poisoned eyelid, the effects of a traffic accident, and shock. I have indeed found true God's promise through Malachi, "Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." For the loving and faithful work of the practitioner who stood by me so closely in helping me to overcome some of these difficulties I can never express my gratitude sufficiently.
