For thirty-three years I was a physician practicing medicine. About eleven years ago, after a period of illness, I was told by-physicians that if I wanted to prolong my life, I would have to retire from active practice. I was suffering from heart trouble, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, and kidney trouble. I retired and was obedient to the so-called material laws laid down for me. About four years ago, I took a turn for the worse. Physicians put me through all the tests known to the medical profession, and the verdict was a bad one. Materia medica could do no more for me and I was led to believe that the end of my earthly existence was not far away.
At this point Christian Science was presented to me, and through it I gained an understanding of God which completely healed me—physically, morally, and spiritually. Since that experience I have been healthier and happier than ever before, and I have felt God's power, presence, and love, guiding, protecting, and leading me ever upward and onward.
Should I not be grateful for all that Christian Science has done for me? With a heart overflowing with gratitude, should I not glorify my Maker? With a heart filled with compassion and love for all mankind, should I not tell of my healing and so bring this hope to those who might need it?
