I would like to give my testimony as to what Christian Science has done for me vocally.
Previous to my cure by and study of the Science, I was greatly troubled with sore throat which so affected the vocal organs that for weeks at a time I could not sing. These would be followed by other weeks of constant practice in my attempt to regain lost ground. After completing my course in Christian Science Mind Healing, I demonstrated over this belief of sore throat, and consequent hoarseness, as follows: One evening when singing for friends, suddenly my old trouble attacked me, and with it came old fear. "Oh, you must not sing any more!" cried my friends, "you will ruin your voice." "Now is the time to prove your Principle to be Omnipotence!" whispered the "still small voice" of Truth. Aloud I said: "Yes I can sing; and I am not hoarse!" Therewith I demonstrated over the belief they held, and which held me. Immediately my voice welled forth in volume and, with a realization of Spirit that was a perfect inspiration, reached notes never before attainable. The belief then and there entirely disappeared, and I have never had a recurrence.
Moreover I was painfully timid about singing before other than members of my own family. It took me a little longer to demonstrate over this; but when once accomplished, another decided improvement was noted in my voice. Now, when I most fully realize and rely upon spirit, I sing with perfect ease; and, without the slightest strain upon the vocal organs, reach notes I had never supposed within my "compass."
