I wish to tell how perfectly my little baby, eleven months old, was healed, hoping it will give some other mother courage and faith to try Christian Science, which I feel now is the only true way.
My baby was given up by our doctor as beyond hope. He advised me to take her to the hospital to have an operation, which he said would be the only thing to save her life, and he really gave me no hope from the operation. She had a hard swelling come under both ears, so that her neck was nearly out even with her ears, she could nurse but little, and seemed to be in constant pain. I expected to take her to the hospital with the doctor the following Monday morning, but Saturday evening a Christian Scientist came to see me about trying Christian Science for the baby.
Although not knowing anything about it except what I had heard and read in the papers, I was willing to try it. My husband told me not to forget that I had promised our doctor to meet him Monday morning at the hospital with the baby, and that I had better go and see what the doctors said there about her; perhaps they would decide not to have an operation. But I said, No; if I let the Christian Science healer work for her, I will not accept anybody else's opinion or advice. I am very happy that I did so, for it not only healed my baby in three weeks, but has brought out the truths of the Bible to me better than any other method. I am studying every day to know its wonderful truths, as the Lord wants us to know them. I find every day it helps me to understand my children better, how to care for them better. I earnestly hope all mothers who read this testimony will accept Christian Science as being the only true way to live.—Dorchester, Mass.
