With a heart full of gratitude to God and His Christ, and for Christian Science as revealed by Mary Baker Eddy, I submit the following testimony.

It is twenty-eight years since I received my first healing in Science. At that time I was in what is called middle life. I had been suffering much, both mentally and physically, for five years as the result of a nervous breakdown. Not only was I sick, but others in my family were also ill, and the doctor had ordered us to get out into the country. This we did, but it did not bring healing; rather it brought financial loss and many difficulties.

During this period we were traveling by train. We had a copy of The Christian Science Journal with us, which my brother had sent me when advising me to try Christian Science. My husband in rather a desperate mood asked me if I should like him to call a practitioner who was listed in the Journal. I said, "I don't care what you do." He chose a name at random from the list in the city which we were passing through, and called a practitioner by telephone. She came to the station, talked with me, and gave me a short treatment. I heard her say to my husband, "I will work for your wife all the way home." This impressed me as being very kind and really opened the way for me to receive help. The result was a complete healing. From that time on, Christian Science has been our only physician.
