From childhood my lungs were considered weak,...
From childhood my lungs were considered weak, and as I grew to maturity I developed the dreaded disease, consumption. In the year 1901 several physicians pronounced me incurable. My sight also was defective,—astigmatism, the oculists called it. I was almost blind, they said it was only a question of time until I would be entirely without sight; my condition was one of helplessness and despair, nothing but death to look forward to,—a young wife with two little children to leave motherless. The weary days and restless nights were spent in reaching out to a power called God that I dimly believed was somewhere, but I could not find Him.
This was my condition when Christian Science found me. My brother, who had been healed instantaneously of what the doctors pronounced paralysis of the brain, visited me and told me I could live, that my babes would not be motherless, that I could get well. He said that I could learn to help others, we could have a happy home, become prosperous, and it is all coming true. In four weeks I was entirely healed of consumption, and I now see perfectly. Our financial cares are decreasing, and I have been able to help others. This is written as an expression of gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, and as an act of justice to my practitioner.—Mrs. G. F. Oliver, Muncie, Ind.
