The joy and gratitude which spread through my very being when I recall the most remarkable healing I have received under Christian Science treatment, are beyond measure. When I was a young girl I was overcome with typhoid fever, and the aftermath was a condition within the body that was most deplorable. During the ensuing years doctors would be consulted and a course of treatment followed for a year or two, then dropped, as not the slightest improvement ever took place. Then an operation was endured at a hospital, but despite the most skillful work not one iota of change resulted. For more than twenty-five years this imperfect condition persisted.
When I began to study Christian Science it was not for physical healing, but because this religion transcended all the philosophies I had studied for a model of beautiful living. Twice I asked for treatment under Christian Science for this longstanding error, and though I thought I detected some improvement at one time, the trouble did not disappear. A third time I called on a practitioner, and then, suddenly, in one night, the healing took place. I went to sleep as usual after devoutly reading my Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The next morning there was not a trace of the discordant condition. My body was in normal health and has remained so for the past five years.
I have experienced many other blessings through the application of Christian Science, and I have found that the quick denial of the power of any seeming evil, and the prompt substitution of thanks for the presence and power of divine Mind, bring the protection of our heavenly Father instantly—that Father whose glorious name is Love, and whose children everywhere cannot do otherwise than reflect their inheritance of loving-kindness.— Chicago, Illinois.
