For some time I have felt a strong desire to express my gratitude to God and to submit my testimony for publication, in the hope that some one may be benefited by reading it. For many years I was a sufferer from female weakness, and was never able to hold or to rock any one of my four children or do much about the home. A great deal of my time was spent in bed under the care of a physician, but I did not receive any permanent help.
After wearing an abdominal support for over thirty years, I decided to try Christian Science, and so had treatment for several weeks. At last the time came when there was an unconscious test of my healing. Wishing to aid my daughter, who seemed very frail, I carried her baby, a heavy child about six months old, to the top of a long flight of stairs, but felt no return of the old trouble, although the abdominal support had been discarded. In fact, I had completely forgotten the old infirmity until my daughter called my attention to the fact that I was healed. There has been no return of this trouble, and for over seven years I have been able to do most of the work for a family of four. I can now be on my feet about the house the greater part of the day, and can take long walks, something that before was impossible.
Error had been nurtured so long that it persisted in appearing in various forms, such as diseased gums, toothache, and overflow of the bile ducts; but all these have been overcome through the power of Truth. I am healthier and happier than ever before, although over sixty years of age, and more thankful than words can tell for my healing, for the better understanding of the truth which heals, and grateful to Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of this new-old religion, the religion of Life, Truth, and Love.— Fort Atkinson, Wis.
