I am so very grateful for the many demonstrations and proofs of God's protecting care which I have experienced in the years I have known Christian Science that I feel I must give my testimony.
My first healing took place in February, 1909, after the attending physician said I had one chance in a thousand to recover from an impending operation for acute appendicitis. A Christian Science practitioner was called; in twenty minutes after her arrival I was resting comfortably, and in one week I was out and completely and permanently healed.
A very splendid demonstration was made in regard to weak eyes, after I had worn glasses for a number of years, and had been told by a leading optician in a Midwestern city that it would always be necessary for me to wear them. This healing took place shortly after my coming into Christian Science, and I have never had any trouble with my eyes, although I have always had very close work to do in my profession, which is drafting.
