herefore would not consult any; but felt that something
must be done, or I would soon follow a brother and sister who had passed
on with the same claim. In my extremity I thought of the "great
Physician," and took my case to Him, and realized that He alone could help
me.

A relative, finding I would not consult a doctor or take any drug, gave me
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" to read; saying that,
although a dear friend thought she was greatly helped by a Christian
Scientist, he himself had no faith in that kind of treatment, and had no
use for the book.

I had heard of the people called Christian Scientists, and of their
textbook, Science and Health, but knew nothing about either; yet I wanted
to know, and took the book gladly, and was soon deeply interested in it.
It was a revelation to me. Although I could only understand it in part, I
knew it was the truth, and the truth was making me free. I felt that I had
been bound and in prison; and that now, one after another, the bonds were
being broken, and I was lifted into the pure air and light of heaven. I
was healed before I had read half-way through the precious volume; for I
was obliged to read slowly, and some passages over and over again. When I
came to page 304, line 10 (47th edition), I then and there felt that I
must add my testimony, though already there were "heaps upon heaps;" but
since then, I have tried to put the thought of those dark days away from
me, and only refer to them now in the hope that some one who is bound may
be released and brought into the light of divine Love, which alone can
heal, and make us "every whit whole."

I have been thinking for a long time that I would give my experience in
coming out of sickness into the knowledge of health by reading "Science
and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

I was sixty years old (as we mortals count time) before I ever read one
word of Christian Science. On July 2, 1890, I met a Scientist who gave me
a pamphlet called "Christian Healing," by the Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy. At
that time I was almost helpless. This lady advised me to buy Science and
Health. I did so, and tried to read it; but my hands were so lame I could
not hold it, and I let it fall to the floor so often that it became
unbound, and I laid it away and resumed my medicine.

The following May, the Scientist visited in this city again. She
