24 A RESTLESS SENSE OF EXISTENCE DESTROYED
Through reading Science and Health and the illu-
mination which followed, I was healed of ulceration of
27 the stomach and kindred troubles, a restless sense of
existence, agnosticism, etc. The torture I endured with
the stomach trouble I will not attempt to describe. The
30 attending physician declared that I could live but a short
1 time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur-
ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into
3 nothingness through Christian Science, which brought
me peace.
Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the
6 sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon-
estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of
religions and philosophies that came under my notice,
9 with the exception of Christian Science, which was
not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held
the very truth I was searching for — the light which
12 "shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com-
prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist-
ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed —
15 then the light came, and with it a new experience.
Now, after nine years of Christian Science experience,
under severe tests, it can be truthfully said that it
18 has not failed me in any hour of need. — J. F. J.,
