The testimonies have been a great help to me, and I send this account of my healing with profound gratitude for all the blessings that Christian Science has brought to me. For many years I suffered from a complication of diseases, including neuritis and internal inflammations, for which an operation was recommended but without the promise of a cure; and for sixteen years I was constantly troubled with bleeding from the nose, which would continue for hours, causing great depression and weakness.
As material remedies brought but temporary relief, I was induced to try Christian Science, and through reading that most wonderful book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and attending the church services I was completely healed in a very short time. A spinal weakness with protruding vertebra, from which I had suffered since childhood, and a hip joint which had been displaced for many years, were healed at the same time. Quite recently with the help of a practitioner I had a very wonderful healing of blood poisoning. This was for me another proof of the power of Truth to overcome all kinds of disease. I am now in perfect health.
It was truly a great joy to learn in Christian Science that God is not the author of sin, disease, and discord, and to know Him as divine Principle, Love, Life, and Truth, and that God's child can never be separated from the Father. The little understanding I have gained of this most glorious truth has been the means of helping others. It has brought harmony, peace, and courage where formerly discord, suffering, and fear seemed to be. How great a delight it is to know and realize that God is ever present and that we can rely upon infinite Mind at any moment in helping to solve the problems of our daily life! The assurance that man, as God's idea, His image and likeness, is indestructible and immortal, ever inseparable from infinite Life, has been a great comfort and help in overcoming the sense of selfish grief when dear ones have passed on.
