About two years and a half ago I decided to turn from all material helps and remedies and seek healing in Christian Science. Sometime prior to this I had looked into this teaching, but I was not ready for it then and apparently no help was received. For twenty years I had been a sufferer from bowel trouble, which gradually grew worse in spite of all the efforts of doctors and the patient use of medicines prescribed by them. Finally I was in a very serious condition, especially when there developed what the doctors called sciatic rheumatism. Each succeeding attack was more severe than its predecessor, and at last I was forced to use a cane in order to get about at all. More and more powerful drugs were being used in order to stay the troubles if possible, but my mouth became so sore I could hardly eat anything and my throat and stomach were in a very bad condition. Sleepless nights and painful days seemed to be my portion.
One day a Christian Scientist assured me that I would find healing in Christian Science if I was willing to turn to God with undivided allegiance. The next morning I sought a practitioner, and after a few treatments the sleepless nights were no more. I threw away my cane, and the bowel trouble as well as the rheumatism in a few weeks faded entirely away. I am now enjoying better health by far than I had experienced for many years before my healing.
To end this narrative without an expression of my sincere gratitude to God for this revelation of His healing power and without declaring my profound appreciation of the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science and of her unparalleled work and the results thereof, would be neglect indeed. I am grateful without measure for Christian Science and the great good it brings to all who earnestly and patiently seek its beneficent and healing influence.— Louisville, Ky.
