Testimony of Healing August 11, 1917 Issue

[Translated from the French]

Ten years ago, when I came back from Canada to France...

S. Aimée Kern

Ten years ago, when I came back from Canada to France, my own country, a friend who met me in Paris asked if my fortune was made. I told him that it had not come in the way I expected, but that I had found a treasure and was ready to share it with him. Then I told him of Christian Science. He said that it seemed very good, and he would look into it more fully when he had time. My own relatives did not see the good or the need of Christian Science at once, but after some time my mother was healed through it of the fear she had of eating certain kinds of food, having had liver complaint for years. When the fear was gone this trouble ceased to manifest itself. Then my mother and sisters took up the study of Christian Science in earnest, and the benefits came with it. My sister was healed of a chronic ailment, my brother-in-law of rheumatism; and through the truth as taught in Christian Science we have been able to overcome quickly any disease which has tried to assert itself.

For several years we held the Christian Science services in German at my home on Sunday, but for the last two years we have held them in French. This means more work, as we have to translate Science and Health by sight at the services. Christian Science is to us the "pearl of great price," and a very present help and comfort, especially at this time. Although the war has affected us all financially, yet I must say that we have been able to help our brothers and sisters more than at any time, proving what Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (p. 206): "In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes,—Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply." Can any one wonder that we are grateful to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science, which teaches us to love God more and our neighbors as ourselves?
