It is with a heart filled with gratitude that I submit this testimony. My introduction to Christian Science came through reading its literature left for the public in distribution boxes. I was deeply impressed by what I read, and soon I began to attend Christian Science church services. After I had purchased and read the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I knew this religion was the answer to my longing for an understanding of God.

I soon began to apply what I was learning. Hay fever disappeared at once when I realized that God is Love. Ringworm disappeared with the same realization. I had believed that my cat was responsible for these difficulties; but I was able to see that Love cares for its greater and lesser ideas and that they cannot harm each other.

When I was still new in Christian Science, I caught one of my hands in the wringer of a washing machine. The girl helping me was very much afraid, but I felt no fear at all. I asked her to stop the machine and release the rollers, and when she did so I was able to free my hand. I put it behind me and managed to finish the washing, using one hand. When I later looked at the hand which had been trapped, there was not a mark on it.
