Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer...
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, declares on page 9 of her Message to The Mother Church for 1900, "Sincerity is more successful than genius or talent." The sincerity with which I submit these simple facts of healings that were accomplished through the understanding and application of Christian Science must be successful in its purpose to direct the reader who needs help to God, the Giver of all good. As in the experiences of thousands of others, so for me, over a period of many years the light of divine Truth, the Christ, has dispelled dark illusions of disease and discord whenever they loomed high.
The day when the physician told my dear ones that I had general peritonitis and could not live, the following words, as though spoken, came to my mother: "Try Christian Science." In obedience to this divine command, a practitioner was found and Christian Science treatment was begun. My response to this treatment and my deliverance from danger seemed to the witnesses a joyous miracle. However, later, when I was told of this wonderful healing, I could not accept it or continue treatment, but turned wholeheartedly to the physician.
Then came the day when, with a sense of intense pain and fear, I called out to the doctor for immediate help. He kindly and calmly told me that the condition was expected and unavoidable, that the intestines had grown together, and that only the knife could ever open them. He said that I must go to the hospital immediately; that I should be glad that I was alive and should make up my mind to submit to a number of operations and accept the possibility that the open side might never heal. Invalidism stretched before me, and all light went out in overwhelming despair.
