At one time it was necessary to take a leave of absence from my position as teacher because of a nervous breakdown. I could not sleep and was suffering from a peculiar form of breathing that made it uncomfortable for me and also for those about me. My mother and sister and I spent all we had saved for medical treatment for me, and

I was sent to a supposedly more suitable climate, but still there was no relief.

During the second year of my leave of absence a librarian who was a friend of my mother's sent me a copy of the Sentinel. After I had read it, I inquired about Christian Science and was given the name of a practitioner. She came to visit me; and when she left, I walked out in the garden greatly uplifted. On her next visit she brought me a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, also a Christian Science Quarterly, and taught me how to study the Lesson-Sermon. My healing was not a quick one, for it took over a year. However, I continued to study and apply the truth as I understood it, and I was finally permanently healed. I was reinstated in the teaching profession and later held the highest position in the county.
