It is with much gratitude that I testify to...

From the May 1967 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is with much gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. I was healed of hay fever, which I had been told was incurable and from which I had suffered since I was five years old. As I was growing up, my father, hoping for a cure or even relief, took me to different doctors. They could not help me.

After I was grown, a friend asked me to attend with her the Wednesday evening testimony meetings in a Church of Christ, Scientist. As a child I had been healed in Christian Science of mumps, and the experience had left me believing that Science could heal everything except hay fever. But after hearing the testimonies at the Wednesday evening meetings, I decided to ask a practitioner to help me. This was just a few weeks before I was to be married. I felt improvement from the very first treatment, but by the time I was married I had not been healed.

Our wedding trip took us into Canada to Banff and Lake Louise. The morning before we arrived at Banff, the train went through hot, dry country, and the dust stirred up by the movement of the train came up into the cars. I had a very bad spell of sneezing. My husband and I together read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, but we were not able to relieve the condition; so we sent a telegram back to the practitioner, asking for more help.
