I have long felt a desire to tell the dear suffering ones everywhere what Christian Science has done for me, but have been held back by the thought that I could not express myself. I can find words to tell of my physical healing and something of the joy and peace that has come to me through this blessed Truth, but the love and gratitude I feel to God must find expression in deeds.
Fourteen years ago last July I had on my breast a rose cancer in an advanced stage. Any slight exertion, like walking about the room, would cause a severe hemorrhage. I have had as many as twelve in one day. Physicians could not help me. "Man's extremity is God's opportunity," we read. It certainly was in my case, for in my great need I heard of Christian Science. I was told of some wonderful cases of healing by a man in our city, and we called him in. He gave me three present treatments and a few absent ones. Soon after my first treatment my breast stopped bleeding and the pain became less and less severe, so that in a few days I could move my arm without causing much pain, and I commenced to feel a sense of rest and peace which can come from but one source.
Three months from the time I received the first treatment every vestige of the trouble had disappeared, and with it other lesser troubles that I had not spoken of. Fourteen years have passed since that time and I have remained well, no return of the trouble, for understanding has taken its place. I am a member of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in this city.
