Christian Science has healed me of many inharmonious conditions—physical, mental, and environmental. I had been afflicted for a number of years with nervous trouble, which brought in its train so much inharmony that life seemed to me scarcely worth living, and there were times when the temptation to end it all was almost overwhelming. At one time I spent over three months in a sanatorium, where I received loving care, but I soon relapsed after leaving there.

During these years of alternate improvement and relapse, I was able to follow my work of teaching only intermittently. Thus the future presented a very dark outlook. The climax came when one very dear to me passed on. I lost all faith in any future life, and it is impossible to describe the mental agony that ensued.

In my darkest hour, a young man in our neighborhood had a remarkable healing of a very serious illness through Christian Science. My Mother then wanted me to try this method of healing. For her sake I consented, although I had contempt for what I believed Science to be. About three days after I started having treatment, a headache, from which I had suffered for months, suddenly vanished. I was astounded. "There must be something in Christian Science after all," I mused; and that was the beginning of a true desire to continue treatment. At the end of the first week I laid aside glasses which I had been told by eye specialists I should always have to wear for astigmatism and farsightedness. Other healings came more slowly, and there were times when I became greatly discouraged. I should have turned away from Christian Science to something else if there had been anything else to turn to, but I had tried everything else, to no avail. Finally, at the end of two years, I was in splendid health.
