Testimony of Healing December 5, 1901 Issue

The Bible became a New Book

Mary D. McKay

I wish to acknowledge, with grateful thanks, the many blessings that have come to us through Christian Science. When we first heard of it my husband was suffering severely from what some doctors called gall-stones, others suggested appendicitis, and gave him no hope of immediate help. The attacks came as frequently as every four weeks, then ten days. He suffered intensely and was confined to the house for days.

At this juncture, at the solicitation of a St. Louis friend, we attended a Wednesday evening testimonial meeting. While everything seemed strange, brought up and accustomed as we were to the Presbyterian Church, yet we were impressed by the genuine ring of the many wonderful testimonies of healing which were given and the bright, hopeful faces all around us.

My husband then determined to give Christian Science a trial. He obtained the name of a practitioner, and in one week he was cured. We then purchased Mrs. Eddy's wonderful book, Science and Health, and commenced studying it, in connection with the Bible. Since then many of my own ailments have disappeared, among them sick headaches, to which I had been a martyr since girlhood. But the greatest blessing of all is, that since we have commenced reading Science and Health, and trying to put its teachings into practice, the Bible has become a new book, and has revealed God as nearer and dearer, a very present help at all times. I am trying to overcome hate, selfishness, pride, and all other errors of mortal mind, which are uncovered to me.
