It is with a heart full of gratitude and a sincere desire to help someone, that I am led to write this testimony.

It is many years since I first heard of Christian Science and was led by a friend to test its healing efficacy. The difficulty from which I desired relief was a severe and stubborn form of nervous trouble. All that the doctors recommended I tried. A year of osteopathic treatment failed to bring me surcease. But when I appealed to Christian Science my healing came.

Since that first healing, I have had many proofs of God's nearness and care for His children. Some years ago I was stricken with arthritis so that I was rendered practically helpless. I was not able to use my hands, nor could I move without help. Relatives and friends who were not Christian Scientists believed I was bound by many material so-called laws, one of which was that I should never be able to walk again. My healing was slow, but after many months I was walking, and within a year and a half I was back at my work in the schoolroom. I have always been grateful that through this slow healing I learned many lessons which have helped me in working out other problems. One lesson was that of patience and persistence in Truth. When, day after day, there seemed to be little physical change, it required the utmost courage and patience to hold fast in spite of the material evidence. Each day that I held to the truth, limitations were overcome and harmony was manifested in an ever-increasing degree until Truth was triumphant. The qualities of thought unfolded through that experience have helped me many times since.
