"Freely ye have received, freely give." For the many wonderful blessings I have received through Christian Science I am sending this testimony, with the hope that someone else may be blessed by reading it.
My first healing was of stomach trouble. The doctor said I had every sign of gallstone, and that as soon as I was a little better I must have an X ray taken, since I could not eat anything but a few arrowroot biscuits, and even these I could not retain. I asked a fellow worker, who has been a very good friend to me, "How do you keep so well?" She answered, "Christian Science helps me." And then she inquired what was the matter with me, so I told her. "Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink," was her reply. I remember saying to myself: "Well, that is in the Bible. Why do we not take notice of what the Bible says?" I went home and had a good dinner, and have never missed a meal since.
I have also been healed of constipation and rheumatism to which I had been subject for twenty-three years. Shortly after I heard of Christian Science the old error again attacked me, and I appealed to my friend to help me. I thank God for the love He gave her, and for her unselfed love in helping me for two days. About nine o'clock on the morning of the second day, the eleventh and twelfth verses of the ninety-first Psalm, "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone," flooded my consciousness to the exclusion of all pain; only once it tried to return, but was quickly destroyed by Truth. I have also been healed of a very badly crushed elbow. In one hour all pain was gone and all fear, and it has never troubled me since.
