Five years ago I took up the study...

From the April 1917 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Five years ago I took up the study of Christian Science, and it has met every need since then. I had medical treatment the greater part of my life for what was called kidney disease, accompanied by a distressing bladder trouble, and faithfully followed the doctor's advice, but with no benefit. One day I awoke with the trouble greatly aggravated; indeed, I felt perfectly helpless. We called a Christian Science practitioner, who came and explained this teaching so clearly that I asked for treatment, and in three days was healed.

My daughter used to have severe pain in the bowels, and every one said she would finally have to be operated on for this trouble; but it was destroyed in Christian Science. During a severe attack I sent for a practitioner, and healing resulted in an hour. One day my little boy was playing near a bonfire and fell in, so that both hands were severely burned; but in a short time he was out playing and the burns healed without leaving a scar.

The are only a few of the many healings which have come to us, and I am humbly grateful for them; but words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the light that is being revealed to me each day through the study of Christian Science.—
