This testimony is being sent in an effort to express some small measure of the deep gratitude I feel to God for the gift to us all of Christian Science.
For many years this truth has been my comforter, my help, my companion, and when earnestly and honestly applied it has never failed me. During this time many physical healings have been experienced by my family and myself, two of which I should like to relate.
A very sudden attack of pneumonia seemed to rob me of the ability to breathe. During the night the difficulty became so intense that a great fear took possession of my thought. Help was asked of a practitioner and immediately given, but for several hours no change took place. Meanwhile, breathing had become so painful and so much more difficult that complete darkness seemed to prevail, and the evil suggestion presented itself to just stop the struggle for breath and be at peace. Suddenly, as clearly as though spoken, came these words: "God is my life! It does not depend on lungs, on heart, on breath, or any material condition, for life is God-given, and what God has given can never be taken from me!"
