Christian Science has been the greatest blessing that has ever come to me. It has met my every need. All that I am and all that I have I owe to it.

I was in great need of healing mentally, physically, and financially when Christian Science found me. Two well-known diagnosticians had advised that I have an immediate operation for a cancerous growth. I did not consent, because I was the mother of five growing children, and my finances were very low. I was told that I could go on as I was until certain symptoms appeared which would indicate that the disease was in an advanced stage, and then an operation would be imperative. About two years later these symptoms appeared, as foretold.

In the meantime I had become interested in Christian Science and had had a healing of constipation, from which I had suffered since childhood. This healing came while I was reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for the first time. I began an earnest study of Truth and applied what I knew of God and of man as God's reflection to the problem of the cancerous growth. Also I asked a practitioner for help, which was lovingly given me. When I was confronted with the suggestion of going to the hospital, the words of Jesus came to me (John 17:1), "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee." With conviction I was able to rebuke the suggestion with these words of Mrs. Eddy's (Science and Health, p. 231): "What God cannot do, man need not attempt." After that the healing took place in about one week. It was complete and has been permanent.
