Christian Science was first presented to me over seven years ago, after the physician had told me that no medicine would reach my case, as I had inflammation of the left lung. I had suffered for months; I could not lie on that side, and with the least exertion I would have great pain. I was very much discourged, but it was in this dark hour, when life seemed nothing to me, that Christian Science came to me. I quickly saw it was the truth and grasped it. I asked for help in Christian Science, and one treatment cured me. The same treatment also healed me of a bowel disorder with which I had been troubled all my life. Later I was cured of severe headaches of three years' standing, when it was sometimes a day and a night that I could hardly raise my head from the pillow.

In 1912 I stopped on a rusty nail which went entirely through my foot, and it was very hard to pull out. My first thought was to declare the allness of God, who is an ever-present help in time of need, and is All-in-all. I then called a practitioner, who treated me, and I had no pain. In a few days the condition was fully overcome and I was able to wear my shoe.

When in the mountains of idaho, seven miles from any town, I become very ill with acute lung trouble. There was no help to be obtained in Christian Science except through what understanding my husband and I had; still I had no fear. I knew that the same protecting power was with me, for there is no power but God, and He was with us in the mountains just the same as anywhere else. I knew that God was All-in-all, and He was our only physician. With our reliance on God, and what little understanding we had, I was well in a few days.

We have had many splendid demonstrations since coming into Christian Science. How I wish every one could know the truth! Life has been different to me since I took up its study, and I am truly thankful for what it has done for me and mine, and for the light it gives me on the Bible. I am grateful to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for this wonderful religion which is finding its way all over the world, and I try to prove my gratitude by a continual endeavor to reflect God, good, in my daily life. I hope this will help some one who is seeking the truth, to trust all to God. My heart is full of thankfulness to God for all I have and all I receive every day, and for the truth that makes us free.
