Before we came into Christian Science,...
Before we came into Christian Science, my husband and I were active members of an orthodox church. We had been brought up in religious homes; and in our prayers we sincerely tried to feel close to God, but that deep longing was never satisfied until the wonderful truth of Christian Science came into our lives.
My husband became ill with a condition of the stomach, which prevented him from eating normally, and for three and a half years he tried to get help through various medical doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, and Swedish masseurs. At different times he was under observation in three hospitals and had many X rays and various tests, but all to no avail. Special food combinations and health foods were tried during that period, but eventually he was living on liquids only, and gradually he became weaker.
During this entire period the thought was always with me: "There must be something somewhere that would help him." We sent for much literature about how to find God, but we did not find God through any of those sources; and my husband's condition remained the same. Unable to keep up our home any longer, we sold our furniture and moved in with my parents, and I went back into the business world to help pay for the medical and hospital bills.
