It is not possible for me to express in words my gratitude for what Christian Science has meant to me. The only happiness I have known has come to me through the study of this great truth. My childhood was an unhappy one, spent with strangers who were unkind to me. I loved the things in life that were good, and I knew there was a higher power, but it seemed very far from me. Now I see that God protected and led me. Later I became a medical nurse. One day a friend lent me the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy. All I remember reading was the Daily Prayer (Art. VIII, Sect. 4), which I committed to memory because I thought it beautiful. I became ill with influenza, and the work in which I was engaged required a physician to diagnose my case. I knew that this physician would prescribe certain drugs; and I had these drugs in my medicine chest, but I did not take them for I knew God would heal me. A friend brought me the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and some Christian Science periodicals; and before returning to work I destroyed all the drugs in the house and have taken none since.

I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing, but because I loved it as a religion. I have, however, had many healings—mental, financial, and physical. I was healed instantaneously of indigestion; loss of voice was healed in a short time through the work of a practitioner, and a sprained ankle was healed by the reading of the textbook.

I am very grateful to those dear ones who have helped me along the way; for the great privilege of serving one year at the Sanatorium of The Christian Science Benevolent Association, and to be serving as a Christian Science nurse. I have peace of mind which nothing can take from me.
