Out of deep gratitude and love for Christian Science, which has been my only help and Comforter for over twenty-nine years, I write this testimony.

When I first heard of Christian Science, I did not take it up for physical healing for myself, although I was greatly in need of it at that time. When a child, I had often asked my grandmother and others why Jesus was not here to heal us, and why we took medicine instead of praying to God to heal us. The answers were always that healing as Jesus did it was only for his time and not for us. To my child thought this seemed very unfair, and after a time I closed my Bible and refused to attend church.

In 1910, a friend told me of her wonderful healing by Christian Science of appendicitis, after the doctor had said there was absolutely no hope for her recovery. This was the first time I had ever heard of this religion. I said, "Why, that is the way Christ Jesus healed, and Christian Science must be the Comforter promised us in the Bible."
