In 1907 I became very ill with uric acid poisoning, said to be in its worst form. The heart had become badly affected, and I could walk only with great difficulty. After suffering greatly for several weeks and not being able to meet the case myself, I decided to ask for the help of a Christian Science practitioner, which help was most lovingly and faithfully given; and I was healed. At the time this healing took place I was boarding with people who were not Christian Scientists; and they told me, some time afterward, that they had watched my case very closely and had reported it to a trained nurse, who told them it would be impossible for one in my condition to recover. While under treatment I was also healed of a cough of more than two years' standing, although I had not asked for treatment for this.
Two years ago, while visiting friends, I was taken with pneumonia. These friends were kind, but anxious, and thought something should be done; so after a struggle of a day and a half I wired to a practitioner in my home city for help. Within a few hours relief came, and a little later a perfect healing. One of the friends told me the next morning they would have to acknowledge they had never seen anything work so quickly, for I had slept quietly all night without disturbing any one, while there had been no rest or sleep for the family the night before.
These are only a few of the benefits I have received through the teachings of Christian Science; and while I am grateful for the physical healings, the greatest and best of all is the spiritual awakening which brought to me a new and right understanding of God. This testimony is given with a heart overflowing with gratitude to God and our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for this wonderful truth she has given to the world.— Geneva, New York.
