Out of the fullness of a grateful heart I should like to tell of some of the blessings I have received through the application of Christian Science. About forty-three years ago I became interested in this Science when a friend was healed of an internal disorder for which her doctor had told her an operation would be necessary in order to save her life.

My brother, who was a member of The Mother Church, sent my friend a Sentinel. The testimonies in it impressed her very much, and she decided to see a practitioner. The practitioner asked her to read page 14 in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, where it says: "Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual,—neither in nor of matter, —and the body will then utter no complaints. If suffering from a belief in sickness, you will find yourself suddenly well." My friend had one treatment and was healed of the disorder.

At that time I was suffering from a paralytic stroke of the vocal cords, of many years' standing, which had failed to respond to medical, electrical, or massage treatments. Several specialists had told me that I could never be cured.
