A Grateful Acknowledgment

Mate C. Thompson

It is with deep thankfulness, that I acknowledge the benefits of Christian Science. Since my earliest childhood I never knew what it was to be quite well. In February, 1899, I became the victim of a very severe trouble which steadily grew worse. In March I went to a hospital, where I underwent a severe surgical operation. After weeks of intense suffering I was no better. Other diseases asserted themselves. I was attended by the best medical practitioners of the city, who pronounced my trouble tuberculosis of the joints. After remaining at the hospital for three months, I was removed to my home to die. The physicians said I might live a few weeks at the most. I was perfectly helpless in every way.

At this period Christian Science was suggested to me, but I scoffed at the idea. I was thoroughly imbued with medical theories. At last at the urgent request of friends I consented to the treatment, but without any hope of relief in that direction.

A loyal student was called, and through his patient kindness I soon found myself on the road to recovery. My healing was slow, but time was not considered, for I realized I was being made "every whit whole." I had worn glasses on account of weak eyes for fifteen years. That trouble, along with all others, vanished into nothingness before the power of Truth.
