I wish to give the following testimony out of deep gratitude for Christian Science and the many blessings I have received through it.

This Science was brought to my attention when I was nursing in a hospital. A new-found friend gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Up to that time, I knew nothing of the subject, but I started to read the book through courtesy to this friend. I must have been reaching out for Truth, because I got my first glimpse of how Jesus healed, and found that the teachings of Christ Jesus are made plain by our beloved Leader. I have proved the power of Truth many times in the past seventeen years, both for myself and for others.

During the winter of 1936 I had the following experience. Coming in one day from a home where I had been serving as a Christian Science nurse, I felt a sense of sickness and tried to overcome it by applying the truth as we are taught in Christian Science. However, as night came on I realized I had an attack of influenza, with a congested condition of the head and bronchial tubes. I asked for help from a Christian Science practitioner. At seven o'clock the next morning, the practitioner was called again and told that a high fever and chills had continued through the night, and that I was not able to leave my bed. I had an appointment that morning, but it seemed impossible to keep it.
