It has long been my desire to write a testimony of gratitude for the blessings I have received through the study and application of Christian Science. By the time I was about thirty-eight years of age I had been a member of three churches of different denominations, but I did not find the understanding of Truth I was looking for. Then I attended a lecture on Christian Science which was very revealing, and I glimpsed something of the Principle of Science.

I was employed in a department store, and one day I was taken with severe pains. The doctor who was called told me that I had sciatic rheumatism. Endeavoring to work out my own salvation, I knew the truth of God as All-in-all, the unreality of error, and the nothingness of matter; and I was healed.

Some time later I was attacked in the night by nausea and severe pain. A doctor told me I had kidney stones. When I had two or three more such attacks I was told that I should have an X ray, as there might be need of an operation. My husband and I were getting ready to go into the country to start a chicken ranch. I knew no doctor would be available there, and I asked myself what I should do. Then I reasoned with myself and decided that I knew enough of God as Principle, Love, to trust Him for the solution of the problem. I threw away the medicine I had received from the doctor and trusted God. That was many years ago, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
