It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I testify to the healing efficacy of Christian Science. I had been a sufferer for several years from inflammatory rheumatism. My mother passed on with the same disease, after trying many physicians and medicines and so-called faith cures, which proved of no avail. I was left without hope of ever being free, having lost all faith in material remedies.
Here Christian Science found me, and here it was proved that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." A lady who was a student of Christian Science moved next door to our home, and after learning of my trouble she told me of Christian Science and of how she had been healed and what it could do for me. I did not accept it at once, thinking it was just another faith cure. The lady very lovingly tried to convince me of the difference between Christian Science and so-called faith cure and that God was the only power. So after a severe attack and much suffering, I decided as a last resort to try Christian Science. The third day after asking for treatment I was healed.
I at once knew that I had found the "pearl of great price." I purchased a Bible and also "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and began to study earnestly for an understanding of the great truth which, when rightly applied, has never failed me. An internal trouble of about five years' standing was instantaneously healed; also heart trouble, sprains, and a dislocated bone in my foot have all yielded to the power of Truth.
