In Jeremiah we read, "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." Over twenty-five years ago this was literally fulfilled in my experience.

In an hour of great need, when the best physicians in Texas had done all they could to relieve me, and had failed, I left Texas, seeking relief from a severe form of stomach trouble. I had stopped at a small town in the Ozark Mountains before continuing my journey to the North, where I hoped to find relief, and I was divinely led to pick up a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which I found lying on a table in a boarding house. After reading the first chapter, on Prayer, I was a changed woman. I had been living in one of the large cities of Texas, where there was a Christian Science church, yet I had never heard of this Science, known a Christian Scientist, or seen a piece of Science literature.

I went to a practitioner, and while it took me three years to realize the complete healing of the stomach disorder, yet right away I was healed of a diseased rectum, which surgery had failed to heal. There were certain qualities of thought and disposition that had to be healed before the stomach disorder vanished, yet I was relieved, in some degree, from the first, and commenced to eat things which I had feared to eat before. I have always been grateful that this slow healing caused me to study the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's published writings. Christian Science healing always comes with spiritual regeneration, and when this is accomplished then the healing is permanent.
