L Text Content: 1 THROUGH GREAT TRIBULATIONS When I attempt to make plain what Christian Science 3 has done for me, words fail me. For twenty years I was a constant sufferer, my spine having been injured when I was very young. As a little child I 6 suffered so much that I would look up to the stars and beg God, who I thought might be up there somewhere, to take me away from the earth, — I was 9 so tired. A great wall of pain seemed to separate me from the pleasures enjoyed by others, and I could not explain how I felt, because no one could understand. 12 Years passed, and I saw my earthly happiness swept away; my heart was broken and I did not know what to do. I cried for help, day after day and night after 15 night, although I was not sure what God was, nor where He was. I only knew that I suffered, and was in need of help, and that there was no earthly help 18 for either mind or body. I loved purity, truth, and right always, and this made evil seem a most terrible reality. I was unable to cope with it, and so found 21 myself in despair. This was my condition when I com- menced reading Science and Health. I was ready for its message, and in about ten days there came a won- 24 derful insight into the truth which heals the sick and binds up the broken-hearted. All pain left me, I had a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth, and 27 was beginning to be fed by Love divine. ... I had suffered for years with insomnia. That night I rested like a child, and awoke the next morning well 30 and happy. A flood of light daily illumined the pages of the "little book," and the revelation it holds for all 1 came to my waiting heart. "The peace which passeth all understanding" rested upon me, and joy too deep for 3 words transformed my life. My prayers were answered, for I had found God in Christian Science. The Bible, which I knew very little about, became 6 my constant study, my joy, and my guide. The copy which I bought at the time of my healing is marked from Genesis to Revelation. It was so constantly 9 in my hands for three years that the cover became worn and the leaves loose, so it has been laid away for a new one. Two and three o'clock in the morning 12 often found me poring over its pages, which grew more and more sacred to me every day, and the help I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can 15 find no words to express my gratitude. — I.
