I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science, for what it has done and is doing for me. During more than twenty years I suffered from chronic indigestion; and the constant dieting made me very weak and no better. I also lived under the belief that God had laid disease on me because of my own sins and the sins of others. One day I met a friend who was interested in Christian Science, and the help I got through her healed me in less than a fortnight. I had never before heard of Christian Science. That was nine years ago, and I have never suffered from any relapse of this disease. I have had many other healings,—from influenza, sleeplessness, headaches, lumbago, pains in my hands, colds, coughs, and so on. In every instance Science has helped me, and many times instantaneously.
For the help my mother had three years ago I am also deeply grateful. She is now seventy-four years old. Since her twenty-third year she had suffered from attacks which began with severe pain in the chest and usually resulted in her becoming senseless . The physicians she turned to did not understand what was wrong. I always feared that something would happen when I was away; it was as if I could have protected her with my presence. One day a very bad attack came on, and I felt I must leave her entirely in the hands of God, clearly realizing that it did not matter where I was; that since she was always surrounded by God's love I had nothing to fear. Three years have passed since then. This disease has never reappeared; and I know that God has healed her, and that it is done forever. For all this help I cannot find words to express my gratitude.
Christian Science also has helped me in many other ways. In my daily work I have been able to do twice as much as before without getting tired. The blessings I have had are many; but the greatest gift is the spiritual uplift that Christian Science gives us. I am very grateful to God and to Christ Jesus, and also to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for what she has done and for all she has given us in her writings.— Stockholm, Sweden.
