I am sincerely grateful for Christian Science. It has brought to me a satisfying explanation of existence, and such joy and happiness as I have never before experienced. Its healing power has been proved to me many times, as well as its ability to uplift and regenerate. Since taking up the study of this Science sixteen years ago I have been freed of many undesirable traits of character and have become more patient and less critical of others. In the light of its teachings the Bible has become one of my greatest treasures.
I have been healed of stomach trouble, constipation, sick headaches, grippe, sore throat, and colds. Some of these healings came through the help of a practitioner, and some through my own understanding. At one time I had been suffering for several days with what appeared to be a gathering in my right ear. As I seemed unable to overcome the condition for myself, one night a practitioner was asked for help. In a few minutes the pain left, and I fell asleep and did not awaken until morning. The gathering had broken and discharged while I slept.
I was wonderfully and beautifully protected when, during war time, a severe explosion occurred at Halifax, Nova Scotia, in which city I was then living. The room I occupied when it occurred was undisturbed and unharmed, although the rest of the house showed signs of much violence and destruction. I witnessed an instantaneous healing for another of the effects of shock, as well as a quick and complete healing, later, of a serious condition due to an injury received at that time.
