Having read the Journal regularly with increasing interest and profit for some time, I would add my testimony as to what Christian Science has done for me.
For fifteen years I suffered with bronchial asthma, spinal trouble, constipation, and continual headache. As a girl I could not run and play like others, and was unable to study much because of my back and headaches. After leaving school my back grew somewhat stronger, but the other troubles became worse. Then the doctors said I never would be free from asthma, and the last one who attended me said it was only a question of how long my constitution could bear it, that medicine could do me no permanent good, and would only relieve me for a few moments at a time.
More than once I was very near the end, and all this made me think seriously. Prayers to God to heal me were unanswered, and I was told to be patient and submit to His will; but I could not do as they said, though I tried to. Then I begged Him at least to make me good; but this too remained unanswered, and I began to query,—is God Love? is the Bible true? and finally,—is there a God at all, and if so, why does He not answer?
