Nervous breakdown healed and responsibility assumed

Because I am so grateful for all the good that has come into my life since I took up the study of Christian Science, I should like to submit the following testimony.

I was reared in an orthodox faith and attended Sunday School and church during my youth. After I went to college, my attendance became spasmodic, until I finally ceased attending church altogether, priding myself upon the fact that I had become a liberal and that it was not necessary for me to attend church in order to be a Christian.

This continued until about 1931. I had married in the meantime, was well established in my chosen profession, and was the father of two lovely children. Then things gradually began to go wrong, and I commenced to worry. This culminated in a complete nervous breakdown in 1935. I consulted various doctors, osteopaths, clinics, and finally the best psychiatrists available. But I finally found myself in the position of the woman in Mark (5:26) who "had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse," for their treatments were all given upon a material basis and consequently could result in no lasting or permanent benefit.
