Christian Science was brought to my attention when I was ill with tuberculosis. Through the study of this religion and prayerful treatment by a very dedicated and patient Christian Science practitioner I was healed of lung disease and have been able to solve many problems. Through the application of what I learned in Christian Science I was able to return to society after my healing and find work and a place to live. Because I had been in a sanatorium, there were several problems presented with regard to my emigration to the United States. However, the required medical examinations by doctors of the emigration office found me in sound health, and the problems were solved.

Through this emigration I also learned to trust more in God. The first years in this country were real testing times. In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says (p. 66), "Trials are proofs of God's care." This made me reach out to my Bible and Science and Health for comfort and help, and always there was a solution and peace, and reassurance that everything is under God's care and love. These words have been demonstrated for me: "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (ibid., p. 494). Statements from the Bible were also a great comfort when I was looking for a place to live (see John 14:1-4), and the Bible has helped me experience safety on the road (see Ps. 121:8).

Christian Science has taught me to understand and treasure the Bible. I am most grateful for the example of Christ Jesus, our Saviour, and for the consecrated love of Mrs. Eddy in making Christian Science available to mankind.
