I should like to add my testimony of gratitude to that of my husband. Before my marriage I had spent the greater part of seven years in hospitals as a trained nurse. I was forced to give up my profession when specialists all agreed that my heart had become seriously affected from repeated attacks of diphtheria and pneumonia. At the time of my marriage, my husband and I were under the constant care of the doctors. My husband was on a diet, and I was supposedly unable to stand exertion or excitement as it might end my all but useless life.
Such was our condition when we attended a Christian Science lecture in a mid-western city where we were then residing. At that lecture my husband was instantaneously healed of a chronic intestinal condition from which he had suffered since boyhood, and for which eminent physicians had treated him faithfully. My own healings did not come to me quickly, for I had much to unlearn. From experience of the lack of any real certainty in healing, through materia medica, I turned to God as we are taught in our textbook to do. I went down deep into the valley before I learned that God never fails us. I have been healed of asthma, pneumonia, heart trouble, hay fever in a most aggravated form, and a most tenacious belief in climate as being harmful to my health. My disposition has been improved and my capabilities enlarged.
I am grateful to those physicians who did their best to help me to better health, although they failed; and I am unspeakably grateful to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, through whose writings we can all learn of the great Physician who heals all our diseases.— Boston, Massachusetts.
