Gratitude prompts me to submit my testimony of the healing power of Christian Science, hoping the benefits received by me may bring light to others seeking help. I became interested in this religion through the healing of my brother, who was in a dying condition with lung trouble when Christian Science restored him to perfect health. Since then I have had several demonstrations of the allness of God. In May, 1917, I was taken suddenly with what the doctors term erysipelas. A friend, whose husband had been sick with this disease, advised me strongly to have a doctor, saying her husband had been ill six weeks. I, however, held to the truth, and a practitioner lovingly gave me absent treatment, with the result that in five days I was up with hardly a trace of the ailment. My friend could not understand it; when she saw me first, she could not see my eyes because of the swelling, and the following week I was back at my work again.
Another time I badly scalded my arm, which to material sense was one big blister, but the pain was instantly overcome by declaring the truth. The inflammation and blister disappeared in a few days, and I was able to use my arm without any inconvenience. For this demonstration and all the blessings that have come to us through Christian Science, I am truly thankful. I cannot express in words my gratitude for the healings and the spiritual uplift. I find the study of this healing truth a daily help in my life, and an increasing understanding of God as divine Principle, Love, is a source of great joy to me.— Montreal, Canada.
