For five years I suffered with chronic stomach and bowel trouble, which became so severe that for two and a half years I could hardly retain any food. The bowel disorder was also severe, and weakened me so much that it seemed as if I had but a short time to live, the physicians having declared my trouble to be incurable.
In October, 1909, my attention was called to Christian Science, and my daughter went to a Wednesday evening meeting. When she came back she told me that a gentleman had testified to his having been healed of a similar trouble within a short time. I thereupon felt a sense of great trust and assurance, and began to read the pamphlet "Prayer and Confidence" as well as a copy of Der Herold which my daughter had brought home; and my healing began immediately. I attended the meetings and services, and was completely healed in two weeks. Since then all these troubles have passed away like a bad dream. I can now eat freely of everything, and have experienced that he who trusts God implicitly need not be afraid of anything.
I am happy indeed for having found Christian Science, and I thank God daily for it, as well as for our dear Leader, who has done so much for us.
