I would like to add my testimony of healing and to tell a little of what Christian Science can do for mankind, especially when all material help has failed. I have found this to be true, that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." In the fall of 1906 I was told I had but a very short time to live. Two kind physicians had done all they could for me in their way, but they stated that my stomach was in a dreadful condition, and that I had many other diseases which it was impossible to cure. I was indeed a great sufferer, and words can never express what I seemingly passed through. The end was approaching very near; my friends bade me good-by, and I told them what I wanted done concerning my funeral, even selecting the hymns to be sung. I felt I was ready to go as I had always tried to live a good, conscientious life. I seemed to have no fear, but my suffering was so intense that a kind neighbor persuaded my daughter to have Christian Science treatment for me. in the hope that it would at least ease my suffering and that I would pass on quietly. After thinking it over she decided to send for a practitioner, as all material means had failed to give me relief. That same evening the practitioner was sent for, and commenced the treatment. As I was opposed to Christian Science I did not feel very kindly towards her when she came, but. through the truth as found in the Christian Science text-book, on the third day I sat up for five hours in a chair, and in two weeks I was up and about my home, looking after many little things. Now I go anywhere, and I earnestly and sincerely thank our heavenly Father for what has been done for me through the truth as found in Christian Science.
