Having waited for so long, it is now clear to me that I should relate my experience in Christian Science, and I hope that others may derive benefit therefrom.

One day, while out hunting, I fell and injured my leg, but did not tell my parents of it. A few weeks later the pain became so intense that I could no longer hide it, and went to a physician. He said that the bone was injured, and tried to help me, but in vain. Years passed during which I suffered intensely. I had physicians, but my leg grew worse. It was then decided that it must be amputated, but "Man's extremity is God's opportunity."

A lady told us of Christian Science; we considered the matter for several days, and then decided to go to Sheboygan to speak with a practitioner there. My mother told her that we had tried so much and had always been disappointed, and begged her to tell us whether I could healed or not, as we did not wish to hope in vain. The practitioner answered. "Not I, but God, can heal him." My mother then said, "You may treat him, I will put my trust in God." The physicians had declared my trouble to be caries of the bones, but in three weeks I went home without crutches, for I needed them no longer. The news of my healing spread swiftly through the town, and how often I had to tell that I was really healed through Christian Science. Six years have passed, and I am well and strong, and can do hard work in the country.
