For six years I suffered from a severe chest trouble. I could not do any hard work, and could attend to only the lighter duties of our home. Through whole nights I would sit up in bed struggling to get my breath. I did not dare to lie down; and when the day came I would be too weak to dress myself, every movement taking away my breath. Three physicians were unable to heal me. One even said that if I did any hard work I should soon be gone. About this time my husband passed away, and I was left to provide for five minor children.
Then friends spoke to me of Christian Science. For a long time I could not decide to attend the meetings; but now words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the wonderful healing which I have received from God. After I had attended two services, the pain in the chest left me. I can sleep at night, and during the day I am hale and active. Without my being aware of it, all minor troubles left me through reading Der Her old der Christian Science. My heart will always be filled with gratitude for the Christian Science practitioner who has done so much to lead me to the right faith. I am also grateful to Mrs. Eddy, the author of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," through which the Bible is made so clear to us that we can learn to understand our God easily.—Hammonia, Blumenau Hansa, Brazil, South America.
