Mrs. Eddy says on page 110 of the Christian Science textbook, "No human pen nor tongue taught me the Science contained in this book, Science and Health; and neither tongue nor pen can overthrow it." In giving this testimony I feel that no human tongue or pen is truly adequate to express my gratitude to God for giving the world Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. This Science, God's unspeakable gift to the children of men, has been our only physician for the past ten years in a family of five.

Our healings have been many, but my initial healing I should like to share. As a child I was always considered frail, and I suffered from the effects of inflammatory rheumatism. The doctors said I had a rheumatic heart condition, and I grew up with the idea that I could never lead an active, normal life. As a young woman, I was warned that I could not have a family, and for a number of years after I was married my husband and I dismissed the thought of having children.

This sense of disappointment, together with other conditions, brought about a nervous breakdown. I was teaching school at the time, and the doctors put me to bed for six weeks. I remember praying the only way I knew how to pray, pleading with God to heal me. The minister in our orthodox church called on me; this was kind of him, but his remarks carried no meaning for me.
