In thankfulness to God, and gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I give my testimony to the power of Christian Science to heal. A short time after the birth of my daughter I became so fearful that I refused to eat my food, so I was sent to an asylum for the insane, where I had to be fed. Twice I was at the asylum about six months. The third and last time my husband employed a Christian Science practitioner to treat me. I knew that a want of faith is displeasing to God, and as I had some understanding of Christian Science, I came out of the asylum in two weeks.
It is about twenty years since this occurred, during which time Christian Science has been our only physician. Measles, whooping-cough, abscesses, a throat affection, influenza, and erysipelas are some of the diseases healed. Recently I had my hearing restored to me after one of the Sunday services. I had been partially deaf for two years, and could not hear the heavy cars that pass near our church; but after my healing I could hear them distinctly, and can now, so I consider my hearing good. For all these blessings, for Mrs. Eddy's writings, together with the Christian Science literature and the lectures, I am continually grateful. — Somerville, Mass.
