I was told by several doctors that I had a very severe heart ailment and could not possibly regain my health. They said that according to medical science I had already lived ten years longer than I should have expected and that I should be grateful for this. I had been in and out of hospitals for three and a half years and weighed less than seventy pounds. I prayed that if I had to die I would be given enough time to gain a better understanding of God; then I would be ready.

At this time Christian Science was recommended to me. I knew nothing about this religion and knew no one who was a Scientist. A Sentinel was given to me to read, and I shall never forget the joy I found in reading the wonderful articles and testimonies which were printed in it.

In one of the articles was a passage from the Bible (Isa. 41:10, 13): "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness....For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee." I felt as if I had been led from darkness into light. New strength flowed through my entire body.
