My gratitude for Christian Science is unlimited

My gratitude for Christian Science is unlimited. Several years ago a nervous condition was making my existence most miserable, so much so that I was constantly in great fear of many different erroneous mortal suggestions, such as fear of the future, of old age, of the inability to fulfill my duties. It was almost unbearable for me to hear the slightest noise of any kind.

My desire was to go away from home to seek peace and relief among some new friends and surroundings. Upon my request my husband took me to a rest home for Christian Scientists. There I was welcomed and cared for, but I was happy for a few days only. Then depressed feelings were in evidence again, so I moved to another rest home. All this was the result of not having the needed courage and spiritual understanding wherewith to fight off all the erroneous, illusive, and imaginary evil surrounding me. My close relatives did their best to help me, but it seemed almost impossible to me, and more so to them, that I would ever come back to normal living.

At this time a dear practitioner was called to help me out of "the valley of the shadow of death" (Ps. 23:4). The practitioner worked for me untiringly and never for a moment turned me down or refused to go on helping me, although I did not have much interest in anything or anyone. She visited me twice a week and talked to me about God and man's relationship to his Father-Mother God.
