Ella Dean Hodge

Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for Christian Science; it not only showed me how to find health and peace, but it also gave me a greater understanding of God. For nearly twenty years I had been an invalid under medical care, undergoing many operations but only becoming worse, and I was without hope of recovery.

Desiring to know about Christian Science, I went to a friend who is a student of it. I told him I had tried all that medicine had to offer and had failed to find relief. This friend gave me my first copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I started to read the hook immediately, and when I read (Pref., p. vii), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings," I felt confident that I could be well—not in a year or so, but at once.

Help was requested of a Christian Science practitioner, and within the next two weeks of joyous study, I had a complete healing of arthritis of the spine as well as of constant pain in the abdomen and back. In addition, I could eat anything I wished, although for ten years I had been on restricted diets. I will never forget the exalted feeling which was mine when I found I could drink a glass of milk without suffering a severe headache afterwards.
