Faithfulness Rewarded

Carrie E. Remich

So many quick demonstrations are given in the Journal and Sentinel that I think sometimes it is discouraging to those who seem to gain slowly under Christian Science treatment. For the sake of any such I am going to give my testimony.

In November, 1898, I was sentenced to a severe surgical operation, and was told I could not delay longer than six weeks before having it performed, as I was running the risk of my life.

Having known of several who had undergone the same and passed away, it was with great fear I looked forward to it, for if not successful my mother would be left alone, and it had always been my earnest prayer that I might be spared to care for her. Upon telling a very dear friend of what I was about to undergo, she suggested that I try Christian Science, though not a Scientist herself, saying it certainly could do me no harm even if it did. not benefit me. I was perfectly ignorant of the subject, having only heard it spoken of in a derisive sort of way, so had no faith whatever, but the healer to whom I went in Portland said faith would come, and surely enough it did. Although I ersponded quickly my healing was anything but rapid, for one thing after another, outside of myself, seemed to come up to hold me in error. There were times when I felt much discouraged.
