In thinking over the events of the past three years, I find that we have indeed "freely received," and out of my bounteous cup of blessings I would now "freely give" this testimony of the healing of our little girl of a serious kidney trouble. After doctoring her for many months, our physician candidly told us that he could do no more. He said there was no known cure for the disease, and that he could give no hope of recovery. When questioned as to how long she might linger, he tersely replied, "Maybe ten minutes, possibly a week. When she goes it will be quick." In such an hour, struggling with my sorrow, beginning to think there was nothing left to strive for. Truth softly whispered, "Try Christian Science." I was acquainted with a few Scientists, but knew nothing whatever of their teachings; in fact I had never wanted to know, as I had been taught that it was the work of evil. Upon proposing the treatment to my wife, to my great amazement she readily consented. A practitioner was sent for, and after the first treatment absolutely all trace of the kidney trouble ceased; the heart regained its normal condition, and in a very short time the child was entirely healed. To-day she is as strong and healthy a child of five and a half years as one could wish to see.
Our three children have also been healed of many minor diseases. My wife has been healed of bowel trouble, and I have experienced the healing of chronic throat trouble. Christian Science has been my sole help in two severe accidents; in fact it is our only remedy for all our ills, and we find that the more this remedy is applied the better the results we attain. It has also helped us financially beyond our greatest expectations, and it is steadily healing me of a hasty, criticising temperament, while words fail to express the spiritual uplift it has brought. It has solved many seemingly unsolvable problems. Our hearts are full of gratitude to God, and to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy. Our constant endeavor is so to live as to reflect more and more of divine Truth.
