Christian Science came to my attention through the healing of my wife of appendicitis, and I at once became a student of its text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, and hold the position of head draftsman with the company by whom I am employed. Previous to my healing in Christian Science I had worn glasses for eighteen years. It had been necessary for me to have my eyes examined by an oculist at intervals of about two years, and each time the lenses were made stronger. I have been entirely free from the need of any glasses for nearly three years. From childhood I had had a heart trouble, which at times was considered of such a serious nature that the attending physician required me to remain in bed. I was healed of this in one treatment by a Christian Science practitioner. From my earliest remembrance I had been afflicted with catarrhal trouble, and as the years went by an affection of the throat became apparent. Many physicians were consulted, many remedies taken, and two operations undergone, resulting in only temporary relief. For fifteen years I had also suffered from stomach trouble and had doctored during this period with twelve physicians, but with no indication of being cured; in fact, I grew worse from year to year. I have been entirely healed from these afflictions through Christian Science.
With the study of our text-book has come an understanding of God by which I am able to prove that Christian Science is the truth. It is impossible for me fully to express my sense of gratitude to God, and to our Leader, for my freedom from bondage.
