As a result of a Christian Science lecture delivered in one of our local churches I was healed of an attack of indigestion which had been with me steadily for three days. This is only one of many healings I have had in Christian Science, for which I am most grateful.
Christian Science healed me a number of years ago of mental depression from which I never expected to be released in this world, as it was what ordinarily might be called constitutional. As a child I had heard of Christian Science, but, thinking that it had to do with physical ills only, I took no interest in it until I learned through the sweet interest of a newly acquired friend its hitherto unsuspected power to heal mentally and morally, as well as physically. With my sister, I began attending the Christian Science services and was amazed at the testimonies of healing I heard there. The word "happy" was frequently on the lips of the people. I soon found myself a regular attendant, eager to hear more and rarely missing a meeting.
My first healing was a physical one, that of sore throat. Despite its alarming appearance I was healed of it in three days. I was so uplifted when this healing took place that I knew then and there that I should one day be healed of the depression that had hung over me so long like a pall; and so it proved. Just when it left I cannot say, but it went gently and naturally, so that when I finally realized that I was free from it I knew that I had touched the hem of the Christ-robe. Although I afterwards went deep down into the valley with a number of untoward conditions that arose, I never lost my hold on Christian Science. I had been healed of the depression!
