It is with a heart full of love to God, and gratitude for the blessings I have received through the teachings of Christian Science, that I write this testimony. It has been proven to me that God is good; that He is Love, and that His truth is indeed our "shield and buckler."
One of my feet was in such bad condition that I could not raise the toes. It pained me so that I could neither read, sleep, nor walk; but I telephoned a practitioner for help at twelve o'clock at night, and in half an hour I was asleep. I slept all night, and when I awoke next morning I could walk, although the foot seemed to be a little sore; but by noon of that day it was well. Some of our neighbors who heard us telephoning, thought I would be hobbling around for days, but I did not even limp.
My son was healed of what seemed to be a very serious attack of pneumonia and bowel trouble at the same time. Both yielded very readily to treatment in Christian Science, but the illness was followed by a number of swellings, the one under his jaw being very bad. At first we thought this ailment was mumps. Nevertheless I wrote to the practitioner and told her about it, and the swelling began to disappear rapidly. My son had had experiences with swellings before this and they had troubled him for several months. He said he was thankful to God, and grateful to Mrs. Eddy for giving us these teachings which enable us to get such help "in time of need." Everybody who saw him thought that he had come out of his trouble very quickly. He has been told since his recovery that some of the people thought it impossible that he could recover.
