I took up the study of Christian Science about eight years ago. At that time I was not able to do any of my own housework, was not able to eat any solid food, had lost considerable weight, and was taking several kinds of medicine. I had gone through several clinics and had had every kind of treatment that was suggested to me, but like the woman in the Bible I "had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that [I] had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse" (Mark 5:26). I suffered from severe headaches day and night; in fact, I was never free from them. The many physicians could not diagnose my trouble, and said they could do no more for me. At this time my husband recommended that I try (Christian Science, which I did as a last resort. We called a practitioner, who helped me for several months, and also a Christian Science nurse, who stayed with me for several weeks.

My complete healing was slow, for there were many false traits of character and much fear to be overcome. However, I am grateful that the slow healings made me study to get an understanding of Truth. I am grateful for the physical healings and also for the spiritual uplift and the different outlook on life which an understanding of this Science has given me. I have been healed of the need for wearing glasses, and if I ever have a headache, it is quickly overcome. I do all my own housework and can eat anything that I wish to eat, and I feel better than I have felt for many years.

I am grateful for the literature and for the privilege of being a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church, also for the privilege of taking part in the activities of the branch church. I am grateful to the practitioners and to the nurse, who were so patient with me and all my fears, also to Mary Baker Eddy for giving this wonderful truth to the world for all who will to benefit thereby.—(Mrs.) Kathryn Davies, Muskegon, Michigan.
