"I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works" (Ps. 145:5). Because I am deeply grateful to God for Christ Jesus and the truths he taught and lived and for Mrs. Eddy and her discovery of Christian Science, I write this testimony. At a time when I knew nothing about Science I had a serious kidney ailment. The physician who attended me informed me he could cure me temporarily, but the disease would reappear after ten years. The condition did subside, and I forgot all about it.
Nearly twelve years later I awakened one morning to find a recurrence of the symptoms. I had been studying Christian Science for several months; so I telephoned a practitioner and asked her to help me. I explained that this was a recurrence of a previous difficulty and that I was afraid. She gave me Christian Science treatment, which is the prayer that regenerates and heals. She also spoke reassuringly of God and His great love for me.
The belief that any pronouncement of a physician could possibly thwart God's law and make man sick was denied, and I feared that unjust prediction no longer. In studying the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings, I found no justification for a sentence of disease.
