Profound gratitude to God and to Christian Science prompts me to give this testimony. For twenty years I suffered from a very bad eye complaint, which grew worse each year, until nine years ago I was almost blind. Nine renowned specialists and physicians could not help me, and they could give me relief only for a short time. In my extremity I heard of Christian Science. How happy I was, for now I had something to cling to again! I had been near despair. I at once clung steadfastly to God's promises and to the truth.
With inexpressible love and patience a kind practitioner helped me to win the victory. My healing was not a quick one: it was over two years before I was well. Other troubles, such as inflammation of the veins, a serious bladder complaint, and a chronic cough which returned each year, have been overcome. There are still many weeds to be uprooted, but I will look up to God daily and be grateful, and become more and more conscious that He will supply me with all that is good and with ability. I am most grateful for the spiritual blessing which has made me much more contented and happy, and which has directed me along the right way. I shall endeavor to learn more and more of the truth.
Words are inadequate to express my profound gratitude for this help, and for all the blessings I have experienced in Christian Science.— Esslingen a/N, Württemberg, Germany.
