Next to God, I wish to thank Mrs. Eddy and all the dear workers in Christian Science for the great blessings which I have thereby received. I had suffered for two years from a supposedly malignant growth in the breast, and in December last, when the suffering became intense, I was obliged to decide upon an operation, as the physician said it should be performed without delay. On my way home from the doctor's house, a dear acquaintance of mine gave me two copies of Der Herold, remarking, "I have not read them myself, but I have been told that the Herold is full of divine truth, and that one is uplifted thereby."
Glad to find divine support for the great trial before me, I took them home and read them. I then begged my husband to go with me to a practitioner in Stuttgart. Her loving explanation of the truth was food and drink to me, and with increasing understanding of God, His all-presence and mercy as Love itself, the All-good, my disease with all its evil complications began to disappear. When a week later I again went to the Wednesday evening meeting in Stuttgart, I could say that I was well and stronger than ever before, although I did not drink any wine as a means of gaining strength, for I wanted to trust divine Love alone, without other means.
But still more than in my completely recovered health, I rejoice in the assurance I have gained with regard to the great problem of eternity, and my desire is to continue to advance in understanding.
