My heart is so overflowing with love and gratitude that I can keep still no longer, so will add my testimonial, hoping to lead some one into the Light. It is my desire to do all the good I can, since God has so wonderfully blessed me.
All through my life I have been weakly and delicately constituted. As I grew older, became worse. All my life have had a pain in my left side, and finally spinal trouble, and many other fleshly ills. My beliefs were so terrible, that it was the opinion of my physicians and friends that death would soon set me free. I had the best medical advice, but none could cure me. I tried different climates and patent medicines. My father and husband spent hundreds of dollars for me but no help came. Then, through a friend, I learned of Christian Science, and of Mrs. H. of S——, who was having wonderful demonstrations. There was no Christian Scientist in our place. I wrote to Mrs. H., asking if I might go to her for treatment, when she informed me that it was not necessary to come to her; that God, Good, was infinite and omnipresent, and that I could be healed at home as well as elsewhere. This was a great joy to me for I was not really able to go from home. I began treatment in November, 1890. I began to improve at once. Was treated twenty-three days when I was entirely healed of my beliefs, and thoroughly converted to God, Good, Christian Science. It was on Sunday morning when I realized that I was healed. This was the brightest and happiest day of my life, and my happiness, as well as health, has continued. It was a wonderful and grand blessing. I wish all the world might know the glorious truths of Christian Science, and realize as much as I do that "God is All." Since I was healed I have done all the work for from eight to twelve in family, and have two small children to care for, and a very inconvenient house, living up stairs, and my trips are not few up and down stairs. I also had a child healed through Mrs. H. She was subject to croup, and a rattling in her throat from birth. She received but a few treatments five months ago, and has had no trouble since, the rattling having disappeared, and no return of croup.
I am longing and striving for a greater understanding of Truth. Am reading that grand book Science and Health.
