I was suddenly left alone, with many troubles and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I 24 was trying to understand it, prior to joining some church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood 27 up, but never could find any that met my need. As time passed on, my condition became very alarming. Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some 30 years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 1 Then there appeared some complications, so distressing that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre- 3 quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer- ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very 6 near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro- bation, and I would be dead before that. 9 About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had 12 been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find 15 out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then ...to live long. I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be 18 saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where 21 had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl- edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do 24 everything, that He made everything that was made, that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles- 27 ton, Ill. Read more
