It is now over two years since I first heard about Christian Science

Dalrymple

It is now over two years since I first heard about Christian Science. At that time I was very ill, with a complication of troubles, and had been in bed for three months. I had a terrible pain in my side, and the doctor did not seem to know what caused it. He gave me powders to take which made me worse and caused ulcerated bowels, and after trying different remedies without effect, he thought it must proceed from an operation I had undergone three years before, for a movable kidney. He therefore put me through a chloroform examination, and finding it to be an abscess, he performed another operation, which left me very weak.

About that time, my daughter brought home a Christian Science Journal which she got from a friend who was interested in this teaching; but as I always thought it was impossible for me to get along without material means, I kept taking my medicines. As time went on, I was able to sit up part of the day, but still had the pain in my side. I got a few more Journals and Sentinels, and as I kept on reading I became more interested in Christian Science, a new light shone out of the darkness, and my continual prayer was that I might touch the hem of the Saviour's garment and be healed. I began to see that I must give up my stimulants and my medicine, and trust in God, alone; from that time, I got better every day. At the end of a fortnight I knew I was healed, and I have never had a relapse of the old trouble. I bought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which makes the Bible a new book to me. I know that the truth has made me free, old things are passed away and all things are become new. I have had many demonstrations in my family, and I must express my sincere love and gratitude to God, also to Mrs. Eddy, for the truth revealed in Christian Science.
