Twenty-eight years ago I was completely healed of Bright 's disease through the study and application of Christian Science. Since that time it has been my only physician. When it found me I was a helpless invalid. After all material means of healing had failed and all hope for my recovery had been exhausted, a friend asked me if I would read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I had heard of Christian Science and was told that it healed, and in my extremity I would have tried anything. Before I had finished reading the chapter on Prayer I wanted to know what I could do to be healed. My friend told me about the practitioners, and we called one. About two hours after she was called, I got out of bed and dressed, and I have not been in bed since then because of illness.

The practitioner quieted my fears and told me to trust God. I threw away my medicine and relied wholly on her work and her understanding of what God is. The first difficulty to yield was that of paralyzed bowels. This healing came as I read Science and Health, some two weeks after I first asked for treatment. I had been troubled with abscesses in the ears and these were healed by Christian Science treatment almost at once. Soon everything began to improve.

I had not been to a church since early childhood. Words cannot express the joy and peace I experienced on my first visit to a Christian Science church. It was a Wednesday testimony meeting, and many beautiful testimonies of the healing, redemptive power of Christian Science were given. On one wall of the church was the inscription, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ." I shall never forget those words and the inspiration they brought me. I began to realize the magnitude of the change that had come over me in two weeks, and I was as one transported to another world. Soon I was attending church twice on Sunday and again on Wednesday night.
