When Christian Science was...

From the March 1931 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When Christian Science was brought to me I was suffering from valvular heart trouble which was considered incurable and was said to be hereditary. I started studying "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and also asked for help from a practitioner. This condition has been entirely healed; and from having to spend most of my time lying down and usually feeling very ill, I am now able to lead a very active life. I have had many physical healings, and am most grateful for the spiritual understanding of Life which Christian Science has given me.

Is it any wonder that Christian Scientists are grateful to that wonderful woman, Mrs. Eddy, for the purity of thought which enabled her to give to us this wonderful truth as taught and practiced by Christ Jesus? Words cannot express my gratitude for her writings, for the authorized Christian Science literature, for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church. It is my earnest desire to gain more understanding each day of this marvelous truth, and to live it in my daily life.—

I am very glad to have the opportunity of corroborating the testimony of my wife as to the complete and permanent healing of valvular heart trouble. The last doctor we consulted, about fifteen years ago, told me after he had made his examination that my wife would never be able to live a normal life, but must always take things easily, walk upstairs and climb hills slowly, play no games, and so on. Christian Science has swept away all these beliefs, and my wife has led not only a normal, but also an exceedingly active life for many years.
