Four years ago I was healed by Christian Science. I suffered "for five years from rheumatism and all hope for cure had been given up. I knew not which way to go for relief. Then my wife advised me to try Christian Science. I laughed at the idea, but finally consented, saying it could not hurt me. I had no faith in it whatever. I placed myself in the hands of a Christian Scientist, took a treatment, and in fifteen minutes all pain was gone and I was healed. From that day to this I have never had a return of the belief. The same day I was healed I began the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and also the Bible, which I had not looked into for twenty years.
I did not know of God as Love, and I remember very distinctly saying while in a doctors office under treatment, that if God made man, and made him to suffer like this, I did not want anything to do with such a God. After I was healed, Scripture texts that I learned when a child all came to me again, and I could repeat them over and over.
I was not a member of any church, but since then have become a member of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city.
