For about twenty-eight years Christian Science has met my every need, for which I am unspeakably grateful. I have had many healings through radical reliance on Truth as taught by Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I will mention just one of these healings.
When I was a child, an ugly skin disease appeared on my body. It usually appeared in the fall and disappeared in the summer. My mother took me to many different medical doctors, but they could do nothing for me. Finally, after forty years of suffering from this skin trouble, I was healed by Christian Science through the loving help of a practitioner. It seemed too good to be true, for I had about made up my mind that the difficulty was a part of me. This was an almost instantaneous healing.
I also wish to testify to the healing of my son, who, in 1916, was seized with what the doctor pronounced acute appendicitis. At first, he was unwilling to have Christian Science treatment. After he had suffered agony for one week—his physician wanting to operate all the while—he decided to turn to Christian Science for help. The doctor was dismissed, and complete reliance was placed upon Christian Science. His release was quick. He was soon up and around, and there was great rejoicing in our home. In 1917 he enlisted in the United States Army and passed every physical examination perfectly.
