With deep gratitude for all the good which I have received through Christian Science, I wish to give my testimony. For twenty-five years I had been a sufferer from pain in the back. The remedies prescribed by the doctors whom I consulted proved of no avail. At times I was somewhat relieved, but afterwards the pain was all the more severe.
One day I was visiting some friends. The pain had been severe all day long, and then my friend asked: "Haven't you tried Christian Science? It will surely cure you of your pain." This was the first time I had ever heard of Christian Science. The following Wednesday I went to a testimony meeting, and also read Der Herold der Christian Science, which my friends had placed at my disposal. I asked a practitioner for help. At first I found it very difficult to understand God as Christian Science presents Him; but after seven weeks' treatment I was completely healed. That was two and one half years ago; and I have never had any pain since. I am now able to do all my work, which before was impossible. Moreover, I was quickly healed in a few treatments of an attack of grippe. The brother of my sister-in-law, who was given up by two physicians, received Christian Science treatment, and was also healed.
I am deeply grateful to God for these healings, and also to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.— Bielefeld, Germany.
