Testimonies of Healing
With sincere gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science, and with the hope of helping another, this testimony is lovingly given.

I want most humbly to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and for all mankind, and to tell of a recent healing. I had an abscess in the colon, and recognized the condition as one that had been present many years before.
