It is always a joy for Christian Scientists to bear witness to the healing power of the truth as revealed by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. For the last twenty years my life has been proof that Christian Science does heal.
When a child I became afflicted with valvular heart disease, which kept me in a state of semi-invalidism for several years. Normal education and recreation were out of the question. The physicians predicted that as I grew older I should be subject to throat trouble, rheumatism, nervousness, and other discordant conditions. One by one these predictions came true, until finally there was a general breakdown, and my very delicate state of health caused considerable alarm.
In this last extremity I turned to Christian Science and was healed. The healing seemed slow, but I am grateful that it anchored me upon a substantial, spiritual foundation. It is impossible completely to express my gratitude for the practitioner who so patiently and lovingly guided my early growth and helped to bring about my healing. The inspiration and encouragement she reflected have continued to help me over many trying experiences.
