"CALL upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee. and thou shalt glorify me." I have been so wonderfully redeemed from error in many ways through the application of Christian Science that I wish to express my gratitude by giving this testimony.
I was a continuous sufferer from what physicians had diagnosed as ulcers and displacement of the stomach. For years I used a surgical appliance as support, went from one physician to another, tried osteopathy, all forms of diet, used a stomach tube after each meal for relief for fifteen years. At one stage I had hemorrhages of the stomach, and was in a hospital for two months, a month of that time with no food, only hot water. I was healed of these troubles through Christian Science. I was also healed of heart trouble, which had been in my family for three generations. An X ray showed the large part of my heart to be where the small part should be, and a growth on a valve of the heart not allowing it to close properly. I was not allowed to exercise, and on hot summer days I had a tub of ice in my room with an electric fan blowing on it so that I could breathe. I had trained nurses months at a time, and was told many times from 1913 to 1927 that I could not live. After turning to Christian Science I felt an attack coming on and opened Science and Health to page 218 and read, "Mortal mind does the false talking, and that which affirms weariness, made that weariness." I shall never forget that moment; an indescribable happiness and the sure conviction of the divine all-power and all-presence came over me. It is now over eight years since these healings, and there has been no return of the conditions.
For these healings and the many blessings that have come to me since I began the study of Science and Health in connection with the Bible, I wish to express gratitude; also, for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church; to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy; and for the priceless privilege of class instruction.—, Columbus, Ohio.
