S. C. Pettis

I wish to tell with gratitude what Christian Science has done for me. It may help others, who are afflicted as I was. I began to look into this Science three years ago, and commenced to take treatments of a practitioner in Los Angeles. In less than three weeks I was healed of a rupture that had been a burden to me for fifty-four years. My gratitude and thankfulness are beyond expression for my relief from the pain caused by a rupture. No one can tell the suffering from this cause save those who have had the same experience. This testimony is for them,—to let them know that they can be healed as I was.

I had concluded to have an operation, as I had been told, I could thus be cured. I went to see a prominent physician. He advised me not to have an operation but be fitted to a truss, and abide by it the rest of my life, as he had asked my age. I did as he advised, but suffered a great deal, and was tired of life. My husband came home from a distance, and told me what he had heard of Christian Science, and advised me to read Science and Health, which I did. It changed my whole life,—made a new woman of me. Through simply reading this book, I was healed of inflammatory rheumatism, constipation, and other ills. I was indeed thankful when they were all gone, not only for the healing I obtained, but more than all for the spiritual uplifting, the desire to be a better woman and to have something to live for. I wish to say how thankful I am to our dear Leader for Science and Health. I am also thankful for the Sentinel and Journal; they help me very much.
