Isabella K. Alexander

As a child, I was under constant medical care because of having only one lung and other complications. I was unable to attend school with other children and was once hospitalized for three months. When I was able, I spent time with my grandmother, who lived in the Scottish countryside, and with my father and mother.

After my marriage I remained an invalid until 1922, when, through friends, Christian Science came into my life. Through reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, I found that my lung was restored, constipation disappeared, and for the first time I was able to live a normal and happy life free from illness and incapacity. I was able to play strenuous games of tennis, to travel, and to keep house. My life was transformed by this wonderful Science.

Helpful to me at that time, as in all the years since, was the statement in Science and Health (p. 463), "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." And I have always been sustained by the verse from I Corinthians which reads, in part (14:33), "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace."
