To show how one can bar out this healing by standing in his own light, I will give my testimony, trusting it may reach and convince some poor sufferer that Christian Science is the Truth, and does surely heal and save from all manner of trouble.
When I first heard of Christian Science I was as miserable as one could possibly be, and yet stand up and earn a living. Having a little business place I was continually filling my customers' ears with my troubles, looking for sympathy. Most of them would try to console me; but there were a few who would apparently close their eyes and ears to all I said, who before they departed would advise me to try Christian Science, saying others were being healed by it, and it would heal me, but I could not believe it. I made some inquiries among others of my customers, but they said everything against it and nothing for it, so I thought it a humbug and gave it no more attention.
Not long after that a church began to go up very near me. I inquired what kind of a church it was, and was told it was a Christian Science Church, and that Christian Science healed sickness as well as sin. It was then I became very much prejudiced against the whole thing and did not want to hear any more about it.
