Auguste Könnecker

I would like to give evidence of my gratitude to Christian Science by telling of the great blessings which it has brought me. In May, three years ago, a serious inflammation in the right arm manifested itself as the result of an accident. The trouble was so painful that I could neither lie down nor sleep, and most of the time sat up in bed in great suffering. I then asked a Christian Science practitioner in Hannover to help me, and the result was that with ten treatments the trouble was entirely overcome, for which I cannot be too grateful.

My husband, who was a great sufferer with rheumatism, has also been healed within a short time. A sense of deep gratitude impels me to report our daughter's healing. In August, 1907, a hard, red, and very painful spot appeared on her face, and a few days later her whole cheek became inflamed and swollen. Her vitality, too, became very low, as fever had set in, and she was constantly delirious. A wellknown physician happened to call on us, and when he saw the child, he looked very serious, and designated the swelling as a bad case of carbuncle. He said he would probably return in the evening to look after the patient. We knew, however, that God is our physician, and after the doctor had left, we wired to a Christian Science practitioner, asking her to declare the truth for our child, and the rapid change in our daughter's condition seemed like a wonder. She slept quietly until about morning, and the hardening as well as the swelling completely subsided. When the physician returned the next morning, he was greatly astonished at the quick improvement, for which he could find no explanation. For this help in time of need we are profoundly grateful to God.

Frau Auguste Könnecker, Burgwedel bei Hannover, Germany.
