In Hymn No. 40 of the Christian Science Hymnal we read, "Earth has no sorrow but Love can remove." I can gratefully and joyfully confirm the truth of these words.

Following my release as a prisoner of war at the end of 1945, I had to struggle with a number of physical disorders, including angina pectoris. In 1950 a malignant ulcer was found on my tongue. I was told by medical doctors that there was little prospect of a healing. I underwent very painful medical treatments without any improvement or even hope of improvement.

In this bleak situation Christian Science was offered to me. I thought I would certainly try it, to see whether this religion actually healed. The condition did not yield at once, and much prayer by a Christian Science practitioner was needed. But after about a year our prayers won out. Truth was the victor, and I was well. When the doctors who had treated me before heard I was well, they declared that a miracle had taken place.
