When Christian Science was introduced...

When Christian Science was introduced to me by my wife's sister eleven years ago, I was in a maze of fear and confusion, which was diagnosed as a type of nervous disorder. The doctors' treatment brought me no relief, and holidays and many other so-called cures were of on avail. I had also taken up the study of psychology, which resulted in further confusion.

For a time I was antagonistic to what I supposed Christian Science to be, until my wife, who knew from her sister of its healing power, begged me to try it. With some reluctance I consulted a Christian Science practitioner, and as a result my antagonism was changed to enthusiasm. I felt that I had found that truth, and at once gave up all medical treatment.

The healing was slow, and much work and clinging to the truth was necessary through dark periods of doubt and despair. But this very slowness made me cling all the more steadfastly, for through it all I felt that Christian Science was the only way, and that I would win through. I felt so convinced that it was the truth I determined that even if I did not get my healing I should stick to Christian Science. I was greatly helped and encouraged by practitioners and friends. The sense of confusion gradually yielded, and with it also went many phases of fear.
