For a period of fifteen years I suffered from a painful trouble which manifested itself at regular intervals. Finally, I had to submit to an operation on the kidneys. But even after the operation the suffering recurred, and I lost all hope of ever being entirely well again and free from pain. I was always tired, had to avoid exertion, and could attend to my duties only with difficulty.
Through the study of Christian Science, however, I became confident that divine Love alone could help me, and I lost all faith in material remedies. But my own understanding was not sufficient to lift me above the suffering. I therefore asked a Christian Science practitioner for help; and after two visits I was freed from the belief that an intelligence and power existed in the body which could produce difficulties and pain with apparent regularity. I was again a healthy woman, capable of meeting all the requirements of life; and since then I have been able, gratefully and joyously, to perform all my duties.
After my physical healing I had further help from the same practitioner and received great spiritual blessings. Under Christian Science treatment all the seeming difficulties and troubles were solved with wonderful clarity and simplicity; and all the help and correction which I received was so impersonal and so permeated by pure divine Love that I never had a feeling of human intervention.
I thank God with all my heart that He appointed our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, to bring Christian Science to suffering humanity, the pure teaching which enables us to help and to heal our fellow-men in holy, brotherly love and a truly Christian spirit.— Berlin, Germany.
