It is with a heart full of gratitude...

From the April 1919 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is with a heart full of gratitude that I tell of my healings through Christian Science. For over four years I had been a sufferer from what was claimed to be muscular contraction or leakage of the valves of the heart, and eight physicians pronounced me incurable. Grief at the passing on of my mother brought on one of the attacks, and medical skill failed to give me any relief. I had lain eight weeks flat on my back and could not be raised or lowered from my pillow, for the physicians had said that if I were I would pass on.

My sister had been a student of Christian Science for a little over two years, and having received many blessings through its teachings, lovingly implored me to try it. I gave my consent, but with the thought that there was little need of trying anything else, as I was just waiting for the end. A practitioner was called over the long distance telephone and treatment was begun immediately. Before my sister had returned from the telephone my heart was greatly relieved and I steadily improved all day. The next day I sat up in bed and ate a hearty meal, after having lived more than eight weeks on milk taken through a tube. On the third day I got out of bed. I was also healed of rheumatism of several years' standing and of stomach and bowel trouble. There are now no symptoms of the heart disease, and since taking up the study of Christian Science I have enjoyed better health than I did for years. I am deeply grateful for this proof of God's power to heal, and thankful to Mrs. Eddy for making so clear to us in Science and Health the way of life. My daily prayer is that I may live to prove to God my worthiness of His tender love and blessings, and that I may be the means of bringing to some one else this beautiful message of Love and Truth.—
