For some time I have felt an earnest desire to offer my testimony in the hope that it will help others as I have been helped. The members of our family all belonged to an orthodox church until I was in my late teens. My mother was very religious; so the Bible was read to us frequently. I loved the Bible, but there was much in it that I could not understand. Before we heard of Christian Science, our home was full of sickness, discord, and lack.

Christian Science was first introduced to an older sister, who, in turn, lovingly translated the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, into Slovak so that our mother could read it. We have learned in many practical ways that there is really no such thing as limitation; for God, the Father-Mother of all, establishes, includes, and maintains His ideas. Christian Science has enabled us to understand that God is All and that man is His perfect reflection; and this has resulted in happy homes, prosperity, and harmony for the members of our family.

My eldest daughter, while in grade school, had an instantaneous healing, which was a joyous spiritual experience. There was an epidemic of polio, and she became ill with symptoms of it. We asked for the prayerful help of a Christian Science practitioner, and I was at her side day and night. On the fourth night, while I sat with her, I felt she was passing on, because she had gone into a coma.
