Christian Science has healed me of many diseases, fears, and errors of disposition. All that I have and am I owe to this truth. It has given me a God, ever present, my stay and strength. Before I took my first treatment I had been given up by several reputable physicians, after having tried various material methods, including massage, electrical treatments, and finally surgery; but at the end of several years I was "nothing bettered, but rather grew worse."
I had been in bed with the constant attendance of a trained nurse for five months, when the kind physician told my people he had done all he could, and he offered no encouragement as to my recovery. Christian Science was then presented to my family, as I was too ill to have any choice; and as a last resort, and with little faith, they decided to try it. I was removed from the hospital and the work of renewing and upbuilding began. In seven weeks I was a well woman, and stronger than I had ever been in my life.
In the eight or more years since this healing, my children and I have been helped and blessed in many ways. I have had the privilege of class instruction, for which I am deeply grateful. For the loving, unselfish assistance I have received from Scientists in my journey forward, and for all those who are helping to dispel the shadows from the sick and the sinning, I thank God. For the beautiful life and work of our Leader I am also deeply grateful.— Malta Bend, Mo.
