What Christian Science has done for Us

Michael Hausz

Seven years ago I had my spine fractured by a fall in an elevator. As a result of this the circulation in my legs and feet almost ceased. I never knew a day without some pain, and was unable to do any manual labor. I had also been afflicted with a weak or lame leg from infancy, which caused me untold miseries. I also had dyspepsia so bad that I was always in fear of eating something that would cause me suffering. It was proved during this time that there was no healing in material remedies. Last May, we procured Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker G. Eddy, which we commenced to study, but did not seem to gain much understanding at first. Last September we met a Christian Science healer, Mrs. C—, who gave us one week's treatment. During this time my back was healed and straightened, and I could dig and pick up potatoes which I had not done since I was injured. My circulation was restored so that my feet were warm where before they were like ice, and my dyspepsia also disappeared.

The lame leg is gaining strength every day as I am gaining the understanding of God and His harmonious works.

My wife, when a girl fourteen years old, had the misfortune to run a piece of a cornstalk into one of her eyes, and injured the left eye so badly that she could not distinguish one letter from another, besides having the other eye injured. The physicians seemed to do her no good, but through Christian Science her sight was restored so that she laid aside her glasses, and can read and sew as well as anyone. She was also troubled with female complaint, which has all left her. We are both now enjoying the best of health, and the peace of mind, and the spiritual uplifting in all our family is wonderful. Words cannot describe it, we cannot live without it now.
