I gratefully offer the following testimony of the healing power of divine Love. From childhood to my thirtieth year I was a sufferer from so-called bilious headaches, which developed into gall-stones, and this in turn into colic. The morning that the colic developed my wife called a physician, who put me on a diet in preparation for an operation. Not being satisfied, I asked for another physician, who likewise said that an operation was the only means by which relief could be secured. At this point my wife spoke of calling in a Christian Science practitioner, and fearing the operation I gladly consented. The practitioner arrived about two o'clock in the afternoon. In an hour the pain had ceased and I arose from my bed and dressed.
That evening I left home on a four days' business trip and suffered no inconvenience. Although this healing took place over five years ago, I have never had a return of the trouble.
This experience led me to take up the study of Christian Science, and the understanding of Truth secured through the Bible as interpreted by our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, has proven the greatest of blessings. It has taught me that there is an ever present, never failing help to which we can turn, knowing that we will always receive that which is best. Especially has it proven to be the panacea for all ills in our home life. Two of our children were born under Science treatment, the mother experiencing no pain. Many ills—acute lung trouble, fevers, and so on—have been overcome through the understanding of Christian Science, and to say that I am thankful to God but poorly expresses my gratitude.— Tulsa, Okla.
