This testimony is given by one who has enjoyed the blessings of Christian Science for many years and is humbly and sincerely grateful for all the help received.
At the time of the influenza epidemic in 1918 our family of five was confined to the house for many weeks. Previous to this, my husband, who had tried in many material ways to recover from a nervous breakdown, was asked to attend a Christian Science lecture. In doing so he had received much help and had also become acquainted with a Christian Science practitioner, who visited our home a number of times during the epidemic. On one of these visits I was healed of the fear of going to sleep, as I was afraid I should not be able to breathe. At this time my husband, who was unemployed, was called back to work by a former employer, and he has had steady employment with the concern ever since.
The following diseases have been overcome by Christian Science: eczema, severe organic trouble, and impetigo. I have also had help in childbirth. When our last child was born I remained in bed but one day. Gratitude is felt for the healing of a sense of grief at the passing on of dear ones. For all the avenues of good that are provided for us by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church, for the privilege of serving in the Sunday school and for what its training has meant for our children, for class instruction, and for the teacher's clear thought, I am deeply grateful.— Dayton, Ohio.
