It has been about ten years since I was first led to Christian Science...

From the June 1909 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It has been about ten years since I was first led to Christian Science through the healing of a disease pronounced incurable by the best physicians the country afforded. For six months I suffered constant pain, except when lying down. I was becoming a victim of a paralytic trouble, and could not dress my own feet for weeks and was numb and lifeless in my hips. As a last resort I was persuaded to try Christian Science. I was greatly benefited by the first treatment, returned to my work as a locomotive engineer within a few days, and was entirely healed in about three weeks.

Since that time I have had many wonderful demonstrations of the power of Truth, one of which I will mention. I was taken suddenly with a most severe pain in the kidneys, the pain being so great that I could only walk the floor in agony. I called on a practitioner for help, and the pain was overcome in about fifteen minutes. The next day it returned, seemingly more severe than the previous day, and this time it continued an hour or more; twice my circulation seemed to have stopped. It seemed twice as if the end of the struggle had come, and I was very grateful to get relief. The next day the obstruction of the kidneys passed away painlessly in the form of what is known as gravel, and I was perfectly healed. I consider this a perfect operation performed by the power of Truth, as understood and demonstrated in Christian Science. For this and many other blessings which my family and myself have enjoyed, I find no words to express my appreciation. My daily hope is to know more of God and of man's relation to Him. I am very thankful to Mrs. Eddy for her great good work for the benefit of humanity.
