Upon returning home one day from a trip, I found that my son had been brought home from another city suffering from fistula. Someone in the home had called in a physician, who had given a hypodermic, and who said that he would have to make an incision the next day. I was young in Christian Science, but had great confidence in its teachings. I sat by my son's bed and read aloud from early evening until about two o'clock in the morning, although he was delirious. Then I started to go into an adjoining room, and looking around, I saw that he had gotten up. The ulcer had opened and was draining. He lay down again and had many hours of deep, restful sleep and upon waking was entirely healed. I was so grateful for that healing.
I have been healed of heart and stomach trouble, chronic neuralgia, rheumatism, eczema, gallstones, and many other diseases. I was finally convinced that it was some error in my thinking that was causing the diseases. Mrs. Eddy says in "The People's Idea of God" (p. 7), "To remove those objects of sense called sickness and disease, we must appeal to mind to improve its subjects and objects of thought, and give to the body those better delineations."
I am very grateful to Mrs. Eddy for giving us Christian Science.— Memphis, Tennessee.
