Louise Stremmel

I would like to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. For about two years I was ill with what some of the best doctors in our city called a nervous breakdown. The last one said that if I would go to the hospital I would very likely get well ; but after being there six months I came home worse than before I went.

Then a friend asked me to try Christian Science and at my request brought a practitioner to see me. The latter said that God would heal me, but after she had talked for a while I decided not to have anything to do with Science, for I had been a church Man's since childhood and could not give up my church. Man's extremity, however, proved to be God's opportunity, for in 1913, when the flood destroyed all I possessed in the home and in business, I wrote to the practitioner asking for help, and as a result was able to help with the work. As there were many ills to be overcome, I went to her for treatment, and was given a copy of Science and Health, so that I could study and prove its teachings for myself.

My gratitude for Christian Science is more than I shall ever be able to express, for I am healthier and more contented than even before, and I owe it all to this teaching. While grateful for my healing, I am more so for having found a God who is Life, Truth, and Love, and that I understand more of the Bible. I am striving daily to be a real Christian Scientist and to help others as I have been helped. I enjoy all the literature and love the church services. Every day I thank God that this truth has come into my life and has made me free, and I am grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who was so pure and stood so firm that she was able to show us the way.
