After being in bondage for four years to a very serious...

Edna Young

After being in bondage for four years to a very serious condition of ulcerated stomach and bowels, I found myself in a hospital where I underwent a critical operation for another condition that had arisen. Many complications followed and I was in a more hopeless state than when I entered. The doctors held that another operation was imperative and I was sent to a "rest hospital" to build up. I did not get better there, but on the contrary conditions grew more hopeless.

I met a Christian Scientist one day and she held out such hope for my recovery that I decided to leave the hospital and return to my own home town. I had a talk with a Christian Science practitioner, who consented to give me absent treatment. Many discordant conditions were quickly overcome, but some problems remained to be solved, step by step, for which I am grateful, for I realize now that that was a period of reconstruction very necessary to growth. I have learned to know God as the all-loving Father-Mother who tenderly cares for His children, and it is a great comfort to me to know that He holds the solution to all of our problems and that divine Love supplies our every need. My daughter has had many wonderful healings, one of which was of influenza. She appeared to be passing away, but was instantaneously healed through the absent help of a Christian Science practitioner. I have been healed of tonsillitis, ptomaine poisoning, and many other discords.

Much remains to be overcome, but I trust I may gain more understanding each day with which to overcome the claims of error, and that I may sometime be able to help others as I have been helped. I am thankful to God, and grateful to Christ Jesus the Way-shower, to our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to the kind practitioners and friends who have helped me. I feel my gratitude would be incomplete without some mention of the periodicals. I rejoice in the spiritual uplift I get through these channels for the truth, and for the Lesson-Sermons, which are so helpful. I hope this testimony may help some one as I have been helped by reading those of others.
