Many years ago friends of our family told us of Christian Science, but I was not ready to accept it then. At that time I was a pupil in high school, and one of my friends had given me a magazine that contained an article derogatory to the life of Mary-Baker Eddy, which prejudiced me against her.

For several years I suffered from neuralgia, and one winter I had a very painful abscess in one ear. Then I asked for help from one of the friends who had spoken to us of Christian Science. After one treatment by prayer the abscess drained, and the neuralgia disappeared with it. That was over fifty years ago, and I have not had neuralgia or an abscess again.

However, I still did not take up the study of Christian Science until some years later when I was down and out. Then I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy in earnest, and solely through reading the book I was healed of cancer and some other ailments, I realized that I had been looking all my life for what I was reading. As I continued to read and study the writings of Mrs. Eddy, I began to recognize her greatness and what it must have meant to her to give Christian Science, the Science Christ Jesus demonstrated, to the world. I herewith express my profound gratitude and love for and appreciation of her and her lifework.
